Cycling along the Danube you get to see lots of cruise ships passing by. Most are very luxurious with resteraunts and private cabins. As we cycled towards Linz however we heard one approaching sounding like a bad club with high energy dance music and we could see a crowd of people on deck. A floating club? But no, as it drew near we noticed the hundred or so people were all pedaling excercise bikes under the guidance of an instructor/motivator at the front with a megaphone. "Hallooo!!!" He yelled to the banks in a heavy German accent as he passed the people on the shore and the whole boat waved at us as bopping and pedalling to the beat.
For a short time we discussed wheather the boat was powered by their cycling. We talked about setting one up in Melbourne down the Yarra for the health concious to cycle to work.
As they passed us up the river we were treated to a techno remix of AC/DC's TNT. Those crazy Europeans!
