Britain (Lonely Planet Cycling Guides) [Idioma Inglés] (Guide Lonely Planet) - Softcover

First, they answer the big questions: how to get rider and bike there in one piece, and keep both in good shape on the road.

Cyclists demand good maps, and these have been specifically designed and drawn with cyclists' needs in mind. Each map carries one or more keyed cue sheets, which contain all the essential directions for a day's ride. Elevation profiles chart hilly days, and symbols indicate services in towns along the way. It's all packaged together on one page for convenient access on the road.

Background material for each day, including selected accommodation options (including camping), where to eat or buy food, and bike shops along the route, is nearby.
