...are also good biking countries. Germany's autobahn is everything you've read, and the cars know to look out for things travelling at speed. Watch what road you're on though. Some of them look like no speed limit autobahn, but a copper issuing on the spot fines soon lets you know you got it wrong. That said they tend to only book the locals.
France has the most bike aware car drivers I've ever seen. If you're in the 'fast lane' of the motorway and some slow car driver is about to make you knock 20mph off your speed, just indicate as if you're going to go into the central reservation and "hey, presto" they move over! It's like flashing your lights except you get a quicker response.
The UK has fantastic biking roads too, especially if you're foreign, because like here you're only likely to be stopped in the interest of raising some revenue.
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. What they gonna do? Take your licence away?
If you get any real trouble, just say you're on your way to the nearest other country to the one you're in.
Final bit of advice, women with their tits out in Italy are boys with breast implants. Be careful in Holland and Germany too...so they tell me.
