One thing i can say about europe, there are a very bike friendly.
Bike paths are everywhere, especially in their cities.
Find any lake or river and your sure to enjoy a scenic bike ride there. The bridge in the background is for bicycle and pedestrian use only. In Switzerland on the Bodensee, a large lake. Scenic bike paths are all around the lake. The bike path along the river sure seemed relaxing after coming down from a 12 km non stop hill climb into the Italian Alps.
