About the Author

Rob Ainsley's first bike was run over by a laundry van in 1968. Luckily he was in a cake shop at the time. His best bike, the one he cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats and London to Athens on, was crushed by a lorry in 2001. Luckily he was in a pub at the time. His next favourite bike was stolen form outside a curry house in Twickenham in 2005. Unfortunately he was in the middle of a jal frezi and didn't notice. He dislikes his current bike and has spent hours in cake shops, pubs abd curry houses but to no avail. Rob visited all the places called Bath in the world and its twins, most by bike, which earned him an interview on Blue Peter in 2001; he received a prawn sandwich for this. He lives with his partner Rebecca, who also cycles everywhere, almost a slowly. Rob Ainsley has many other titles under his belt; he is the author of five books in the Bluffer's Guides series; various computer books; editor of The Carlton Encyclopedia of Classical Music; major contributor to Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness Guide to Classical Music; he has also contibuted to various newspapers and magazines.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book, 26 Jul 2008
What an inspiring book! I have done one ride so far and can't wait to do the other 49 (although I may be tempted to bypass the chapter entitled 'Hilly'). Having said that, these rides are suitable for anyone - I'm 52, female and tend to favour first gear. If you want a day out with a difference, and cheap too, get a bike and this book.
