Thanks for your comment about bike helmets and your question about EuroCheapo.

Regarding the site, it’s true that we primarily focus on ways to save when visiting about a dozen major destinations in Europe that are especially popular with English speaking (and reading) guests. This is, obviously, a business necessity, as we’re publishing a travel site with a fairly small staff of writers. However, in the past few months we’ve also reported on smaller destinations, including Strasbourg, Scottish isles, Glasgow, Serbia, Crete, and more. We’re always looking for suggestions for additional destinations to write about–please share!

A Council of Europe report on mobility in Europe last year noted that, taking Europe as a whole, less than 1% of bike riders wear helmets. Talking of ‘Europe as a whole’ whatever has happened to Eurocheapo? You guys used to blog about all sorts of stuff. Now it is just lists and more lists from a dozen big cities which represent just a tiny fraction of Europe. I work with Council of Europe. Our continent stretches over several time zones. Take a look some time, and why not more reports from places beyond the tourist magnets so beloved by US visitors?
