Product Description
Product Description
Cycling the open road has its pleasures but it can also be intimidating, especially for the novice or the parent with young children. Fortunate, there's another option for those cyclist who have something a little more peaceful and recreational in mind: the paved bike path. Free of cars, red lights, and exhaust fumes, recreational paths are popping up everywhere. In The Best Bike Paths of New England, Wendy Williams has done you the favor of finding them in advance.
Organized by state, The Best Bike Paths of New England is the only comprehensive listing of these community treasures, describing forty-five paths and detailing everything you'll need to know about each one:
-- A map of each state showing you where the path is
-- A detailed description of the path, including mileage
-- General background, including the history of the path and any useful tourist information
-- The level of difficulty, type of scenery, and condition of pavement
-- Availability of food and bathrooms
-- Directions, including the most accessible parking area
Whether you want to coast alongside the send dunes of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, climb the White Mountains of New Hampshire, or explore Maine's Acadia National Park, there's a bike path waiting for you. So fill your water baffle, pack a lunch, pump up your tires, and prepare for a great ride!

A great appetizer!, 29 May 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Best Bike Paths of New England: Safe, Scenic, and Traffic-Free Bicycling (Paperback)
This book was a nice introduction to some of the bike paths in New England. The path descriptions, for the paths I have ridden, were very accurate. The only thing missing were detailed maps of the trails themselves.

Superb Guide, 24 Sep 2008
By A Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Best Bike Paths of New England: Safe, Scenic, and Traffic-Free Bicycling (Paperback)
This book is excellent. It really enhanced a recent visit to Cape Cod by decribing the various trails in a way that I thought was very accurate, and provided many details which allowed us to effectively plan our bike rides.

Way way out of date, 6 Sep 2010
By Shifta - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Best Bike Paths of New England: Safe, Scenic, and Traffic-Free Bicycling (Paperback)
I failed to notice the copyright date when I bought this book -- 1996. So much has changed since then, and many rail trails aren't included. I think it was good for its day, but it needs to be updated.
Listmania!
