Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Ken Brown

A few months ago I received an e-mail from a lady in Britain who had
seen the photos of my cycle trip along the Rhine and Mosel rivers. She
said she had taken a similar cycle trip in 1951 and she could send me
her report. It was a handwritten letter to her mother so she said she
would type it and mail it to me. When it arrived I was surprised to
find that she had pasted photocopies of photos on the back of pages.
Her writing is wonderful!
The report is an excellent account of conditions in post-war Germany.
While it was particularly interesting to me because of the common
places that we visited, I think anyone would find the report
interesting.
It took me some work but I scanned it, converted the text to digital,
and created a pdf that retains much of the character of the original.
If anyone wants a copy, please e-mail me at kbrown@idirect.ca . It is
152 KB and free.
