Format:Paperback
We've owned both editions of this book, and it's a great reference guide for any bike tourist but especially those who want to explore off the beaten path. It starts with a good overview of the gear you need and moves on to profiles of all the key cycling regions in the world, plus lots of stories from other bike tourists. Great material for fueling the dreams and plans for your next big bike tour.

I find this book covers important technical facts and has very good tales about rides taken. Very helpful for those who would want to explore by push-bike

I am not a cyclist anymore but thoroughly enjoyed the tales from the riders. They were clear and concise and made one feel you were riding beside them. Great reading!
