Thank you! Actually all of what you've said is helpful. Duh, about the pedals, those are small and easy to pack, great idea! I guess we might have to be more flexible and be willing to rent mountain bikes if necessary. We are thinking of staying in either Baden-Baden, Freudenstadt, Villingen, or Freiburg. We'll have a rental car to explore the area, but would also like to cycle some. I don't speak a word of German (well, maybe one, bier ), so looking at German web sites aren't much help. Bron, if you have some spare time and are able to find any bike shops in the area with an e-mail address that would be fabulous.

Thanks everyone!
