I drove my bike through the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany. The only country with good cycle paths is the Netherlands. In France I even ended up on the highway because the road just changed. And I had the same experience as you in Germany. It's dangerous to cycle next to cars who are driving 90km/h.

It can't imagine a single place in France where the highway is the only available road, since there is a lot a really small roads everywhere. (I did an almost 3000km tour of France a few years ago, and for instance Google maps is an absolutely terrible tool for this kind of use).
- tdrdt 5y agoI never use a GPS. But this was a long time ago. I think somewhere around Metz. The road was something like a primary road which turned into a highway. A paper map indeed confirmed the road changed into a highway.
- littlestymaar 5y agoAh ok! Primary roads do indeed turn to highways, and without a GPS I can understand how you ended up in such road in the first place, simply by following the direction signs.
