Hello all – please forgive a bit of self-promotion here – I just made this report about the ViaRhôna bike route from Switzerland down the Rhône through Lyon to the Mediterranean, and I wanted to share it with fellow bike fans.

53% of the route is on converted railway line type tracks, the other completed parts are on quiet roads, but there are still stretches that are not complete, in particular the 30k south of Lyon.
