@EUCommission

Are these bicycle paths or are you cycling next to cars? (Outside of the Netherlands and Flanders)

@Akshay @EUCommission These look like the paths that a reasonable person would take in those parts. Around me, there is one part that goes along a side of the road; one part that is a specially built bike/foot path surrounded by fields; and there is a short piece where information is completely outdated: the suggested path is closed-off by a construction and I had to find a completely different route.

@Akshay @EUCommission From having cycled bits of EV6 through Germany-Serbia (2015) and much of EV1 from Norway to Spain (2017) I'd say it is dependent on what local cycling bodies in each country do. It is mostly on-road (usually quieter roads) but with bits of dedicated cycle paths where they exist. If only all of Europe and the UK had the quality of infrastructure of the Netherlands.

@Akshay @EUCommission on Eurovelo 10 in Skรฅne where I'm from, it's mostly road sharing with cars going 70 km/h. Sharing road with cars would be fine if it was upwards of 30 maybe 40 km/h, but 70 just gets really scary.

@Akshay @EUCommission In Scandinavia you often are on the only road that leads north, which is not nearly as busy as you might think. Tourists in campers are however the worst drivers I've seen in a long time driving to close to one another. thus not paying the right amount of attention.

@Akshay @EUCommission most of them are low traffic roads
