Need help with European Cycling Base

[elcolombiano]

My grand parents escaped the Nazis from Germany during WWII and made it to Colombia. I have applied for German Citizenship and it has been approved. I can now live in any country in the European Union. I would like to establish a base somewhere where I can keep a car, bicycle, clothing and computer maybe small motorhome etc..

Does anyone have any suggestions where to establish a good cycling base in Europe. Generaly in Europe the closer you are to the center of a large city the more expensive the real estate. There are so many good places I don't even know where to start. Perhaps I could buy a studio apartment and AirBnb it when I am not using it.

I was thinking about Freiburg Germany near the Black Forest area. Its an easy drive to Switzerland, France and Northern Italy. Another idea would be around Valencia Spain that has better year round weather but is far from the rest of the continent.
