Sinopse
Discover 200 of the best places to ride a bike in this beautifully illustrated hardback.
From family-friendly, sightseeing urban rides to epic adventures off the beaten track.
Destinations range from France and Italy, for the world's great bike races, to the wilds
of Mongolia and Patagonia. These journeys will inspire - whether you are an experienced
cyclist or just getting started.
The book is organised by continent. In the Americas we join a family bikepacking trip in
Ecuador; we pedal the Natchez Trace Parkway and stop at legendary music spots; we ride the
Pacific Coast Highway in Oregon and California; go mountain biking in Moab and Canada; and
explore the cities of Buenos Aires and New York by bicycle.
European rides include easy-going trips around Lake Constance, along the Danube and the
Loire, and coast-to-coast routes; routes in Tuscany, Spain and Corsica; and professional
journeys up Mt Ventoux and around the Tour of Flanders.
In Asia, we venture through Vietnam's valleys; complete the Mae Hong Son circuit in
northern Thailand; cross the Indian Himalayas; and pedal through Bhutan. And in Australia
and New Zealand we take in Tasmania and Queensland by mountain bike; cycle into Victoria's
high country and around Adelaide on road bikes; and try some of New Zealand's celebrated
cycle trails.
Each ride is illustrated with stunning photography and a map. A toolkit of practical
details - where to start and finish, how to get there, where to stay and more - helps
riders plan their own trips. There are also suggestions for three more similar rides
around the world for each story. Each piece shows how cycling is a fantastic way to get to
know a place, a people and their culture.
