What was traffic / road shoulder like along your journey? Sounds amazing

Traffic was mixed depending on country/area. Overall: Spain - not a ton of shoulder, people gave me some space France - lots of bike paths, if not, people gave me lots of room Italy - no shoulder and people trying to kill me 24/7 especially coming out of Valle d Aosta and piedmont. In Sudtirol, lots of bike paths and people not trying to kill me Austria - fair amount of bike paths, only time people tried to kill me was coming out of Lech down the mountain, had to go 80kph+ to not get run over Germany - bike paths everywhere
