Question: what are the flattest countries to ride across?
I've had a disability all my life; recently I found a way to improve it and thus my quality of life. I can exercise somewhat now and would love to cycle across a country.
However there is a limit - I still can't do anything intense. Cycling uphill would be too intense. And Britain and much of Europe is very hilly and so impossible for me. I basically need an easy mode, flat country.
Size doesn't matter; a big flat country is preferable to a small hilly country.

flat, lots of bake paths, towns every few km
could do the great plains in NA, but things are spread out a lot more

This. Of you stay out of the deep south, you'll find only flatlands.

Denmark and southern Sweden is also really flat. The highest point in Denmark is only 176 meters.

Finland is also very flat and bike-friendly. Come in the summer, obviously, when there are very long days (like 18 hours of daylight).

Seconding Netherlands, hard to find a better country for low effort cycling.
Large parts of Poland and Hungary are also flat as a table.

Do you think it would be doable in a wheelchair? Distance and incline aren't a problem for me, mainly concerned about width/space.

I think it would be problematic since large chunks of the route are dedicated to only cyclists

That's a shame, thanks for the info though.

How about one of those recumbent tri-wheeled bike things? My uncle used one of those during the phase of his life when he was unable to walk but still had arm strength. He went a lot of places with a wheel chair to get around "home base" hotels and such, and that bike thing to explore.

Nearly entirely flat, plus there's lots of people and cities and beaches along any route you take.
