Lonely Planet The world's leading travel guide publisher
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.

"I bought this as a Christmas gift for my brother who has been into cycling and travel, so it seemed to be the perfect gift. I doubt he's sat down to read it much, but I know he liked the idea of it and rather go out on his bike instead."

- Bought this book as a gift. Book was truly "Like New" as the pages were still stuck together like no one has ever opened it or flipped through the pages. The pictures are beautiful and my fiance is excited to get to sit down and enjoy it.
The reason this gets a 3 star rating is due to the poor construction of the book. It was simply packaged in a bubble mailer and as the post man shoved it into the mail slot, the binding broke and is almost completely detached from the rest of the book. We are very disappointed and it looks like we weren't the first to experience this with the binding. - Great gift for my daughter, who has bicycled allover the world.She has now found new places to go. It did slow down our gift opening on Christmas Eve, since she wouldn't put the book down and go on to open her next present. It was ok though, we all needed a break anyway. Great book.
- Inspiring with a group of ideas for rides I might not have thought of on my own. My wife and I travel all over the world, many by bicycle - 73 countries visited in total thus far. This book reminded me of some of our favorite past rides, confirmed some already on our existing list to try, suggested some we had not previously envisioned, and gave us reasons to rule out some others we might otherwise foolishly have tried.
- I bought this as a Christmas gift for my brother who has been into cycling and travel, so it seemed to be the perfect gift. I doubt he's sat down to read it much, but I know he liked the idea of it and rather go out on his bike instead.
- A beautiful book, and if you are looking for a very general overview of cycle touring around the world, but lacking in useful details. Very little about the routes or conditions, information that would help you decide if the ride is interesting or something you can handle. More like a travel blogger sending brief notes back home and some photos, with brief info about where to rent a bike or get a map. Just too general to be useful except for a casual read about cycling globally.
- The contents of the book are lovely, it's the book itself that's the problem....the binding completely fell apart within a day of giving this to my husband for his birthday. It was so disappointing!! Pages are literally falling out of the book now. We've had it less than a week.
- It has a lot of great destinations and the pictures are terrific.
- For our own pro exploring type riders! They loved it.
