Epic Bike Rides of the World by Lonely Planet

The problem encountered by most cyclists when planning a trip abroad is to find out whether the proposed route is suitable for bike riding in the first place, and secondly whether it is something they could manage.

No-one wants to go on a 300-mile cycle ride in Ecuador without knowing a bit about the terrain or the weather conditions, right?

A good travel book specializing in cycle tours around the world is probably one of the best sources of information to get. And when it comes from a reputable publishing company such as ‘Lonely Planet’ then you know that the information you receive will be up to date and inclusive of everything you need to know.

‘Epic Bike Rides of the World written by Lonely Planet, is one of a number of useful travel guides published by this company.
