And yet somehow, bad planning like this can be seen every day in cycling paths. It's almost as if the planners think it would be acceptable there. To which I clearly say: no, it's not! In fact even less so than for cars are losing your momentum and regaining costs significantly more energy than a press on the accelerator!

This is a great article, with many important points.
One nitpick:
> Self-hosted runners should never be used with public repositories.
Public repositories themselves aren't the issue, pull requests are. Any infrastructure or data mutable by a workflow involving pull requests should be burned to the ground after that workflow completes. You can achieve this with ephemeral runners with JIT tokens, where the complete VM is disposed of after the job completes.
As always the principle of least-privilege is your friend.
If you stick to that, ephemeral self-hosted runners on disposable infrastructure are a solid, high-performance, cost-effective choice.
We built exactly this at Sprinters [0] for your own AWS account, but there are many other good solutions out there too if you keep this in mind.

Iframes, while not perfect, are pretty close though...

I did most of this too! It was great.
Do you have recommendations for folks who can only do a shorter trip (say, a long weekend, or a week)?
The classic recommendation would be Passau - Vienna as the infrastructure is very well built out and Vienna is a great destination. This can easily be combined with a start in Munich and taking the bike back on the train to Munich for a round- trip that takes around 5-7 days (+-500 km).
That being said a few other sections come to mind:
- the very start from Donaueschingen to Regensburg is on beautifully wild cycling paths in the middle of nature with a number of interesting cities along the way
- Vienna - Budapest + train back is another fun loop including 3 capitals!
- For the more adventurous, the Serbian part is very scenic too. Belgrade is great. Leaving it on the busy road not so much. After that you quickly find yourself on a meandering road along the shore with spectacular cliffs and tunnels. No cycling path anymore. But well worth it.
- Romania is still challenging for cyclists, but the delta is very spectacular if you get a chance to visit it (by boat, no bike , as there are no roads).

What percentage of the route was directly next to, or very close to, the river? Did you have to veer inland to get past any parts?
A very large part. Certainly up to the Romanian border, then it's all over the place. The Danube cycle path has been integrated in EuroVelo 6. You can see the detailed path here for yourself (just click through the different sections): https://en.eurovelo.com/ev6/from-ulm-to-passau

While I haven't canoed it, I cycled the whole Danube from the sources of the Brigach and Breg in the Black Forest in Germany to the delta in Romania. AMA.

Depot looks nice, but also looks fairly expensive to me. We're a small B2B company, just 10 devs, but we'd be looking at 200+500 = $700/mo just for building and CI.
I guess that would be reasonable if we really needed the speedup, but if you're also offering a better QoL GHA experience then perhaps another tier for people like us who don't necessarily need the blazing speed?
At https://sprinters.sh we offer AWS-hosted runners at a price point that will be much more suitable for a company like yours.
... so far
