5.0 out of 5 stars If you are planning a bike tour, this is THE book to get!, 8 Mar 1998
By A Customer
Do not be deceived by the small size of this book - it has all the information you'll need in order to plan any bike tour. It's got the info on choosing a bike, equipment, routes (though it does not cover specific routes, it gives advice and sources on how to find the information you need). It is quite simply the best book available, a wealth of information, tips, references and it even has equipment checklists at the back, conveniently split into essential/optional sections. A superb example of the "keep it simple" school of literature, it is just jam-packed with useful info, with no fluff.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very handy book!, 5 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I have referred to this book quite often. It is quite basic in its approach and very easy reading, but very valuable in the infomation it contains. It is more suited to beginners, but would benefit the experienced tourer equally as well.

I used to leave it in the top drawer of my bedside unit, and read it in bed, to assist in dreaming up new adventures and give me new ideas.

I took it with me to the USA when I toured over there, but left it on the plane... :o(

I miss it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative AND inspiring., 15 May 1998
By A Customer
The book not only prepares you physically--with check lists of equipment, contacts, and training goals--but mentally as well. Combining pep talks, humor, and wisdom (from Thoreau, Cervantes, Whitman, and the author himself), the book's enthusiasm is infectious.
