Ooh.. Isn't it exciting to cycle along abandoned roads. Feels like you're cycling throught a car free future.
Here's one of a more recently abandoned road on a sand spit(? not sure this is the correct lingo) between the towns of Sete and Agde in France.

One of our best pictures from somewhere in Loraine, France 06/2011.
It was a beautiful days ride through rural France.

Amazing pics! I feel so thirsty for mountains and rivers right now, I want to grab my bike and pedal till my legs are dead. Instead I'm sitting in front of the computer, gazing at the blue sky of your photos with a pounding headache from the programming I've been doing the last hours.


peater, seems like a magic route for cycliclists!
