I loved your pictures, my sister lives in Chur and I have taken your path to the various towns around Chur. The train from Zurich to Chur, the train from Chur to St. Moritz and the Post Office Bus into Italy and down to Florence. I will be returning for a short visit in November. I have used the picture of "View from Glacier Express as my screensaver till I get home from Chur.

jThanks
Thanks for writing an interesting article. I have cycled in Switzerland and Bravaria, but not in the area of your trip. I found following some of the nine Swiss bike routes in the country to be wonderful as it took me to places I would never have found on my own. I'm planning to return to Switz. on a folding Sat-R-Day recumbant, a sibling of your Bike Friday. I'm curious how your bike performed, and did you consider using the trailer?
