Looking for a good location/rental company for a 3-4 bike tour in Europe (starting late July).
I've been living in Turkey (Ankara) since September, and one thing I have greatly missed is bicycle touring. Unfortunately, I'm not currently living in a place that is great for cycling - quite the opposite - and I do not currently own a bicycle. I will have some time off this summer, and I would like to take advantage of my proximity to Europe.
Just wondering if anyone would recommend a good starting point (which would also be a potential place to rent a touring bicycle, or some kind of appropriate bicycle), ideally one that is at least somewhat comfortable temperature-wise? I haven't really thought about the accommodation part, and would perhaps like to do a mix of paid accommodation and camping (whether paid or wild). Should there be potential for reasonably priced accommodation though, then the credit card touring route would also be fine.
Any advice would be appreciated.
