Even then the steel parts of your components would be nothing but lumps of rust long before you reached Switzerland. In addition just how do you intend to "follow the Rhine". I believe you need a boat rather than a bike. I think this guy is a troll.

Not a Troll!!!!
Just another English man trying to be polite and draw on the vast knowledge we have somewhere. All I can tell him is that if the French and the Italians don't understand English- Then shout louder.
I take my holidays in France and And that is because I love it. Never had a problem with the Language as most of the schoolkids are taught from an early age and most of them have got to an age where they work in shops, or are in the police force. Just learn a few basic phrases and learn to love wine. That is my problem now as I can't remember much about my holidays as I keep trying to improve my love of wine.
Now to the questions- How old- how fit- how much overweight- and what bike? Plenty of questions but once we know these facts- the answers will come.
