I collect old post cards , last week end I found this card at a flea market. Really nice card, good color but I'm trying to translate what is printed in the top of the card.

Ein Fecienaûsflûng aûf Pedalen
die Fceûde ist nicht aûszûmalen
Ich stcämple keafting mit den Füben
Die Klappe hach! Ich lasse geüben

As far as I can work out, a literal translation of


Ein Ferienausflug auf Pedalen
die Freude ist nicht auszumalen
Ich strample kräftig mit den Füßen
Die Klappe hoch! Ich lasse grüßen

would be:

A holidays' trip on pedals
the joy is not to be painted
I pedal strongly with the feet
They flap highly! I let greet.

You might want to find a native speaker for a better translation :)

A cycling holiday on the pedals
The happiness is not comparable
I pump mightily with my feet
The throttle on full! I'll not refuse/givein.

^^^ that's what my partner came up with.

It's a a dialect of german (could be austrian, I wouldn't know) but there's more umlauts than I'd expect. I've asked my German boss for a translation - he's a cyclist so he might even reply :)
