Lonely Planet Cycling Guides are Back!

08-19-2009

There’s No Better Way to See Europe than from the Seat of Bicycle!

Slow travel is a serious trend. Wanting to connect more deeply with people and places they visit, travelers often find cycling a perfect fit with their European vacation. And really, there is no better way to see the European countryside than by the seat of a bicycle.

Lonely Planet’s out-of-print cycling guides were selling online for upwards of $125 and clearly reaching icon status. Thus, we introduce three new cycling guides to Europe: Cycling Britain, Cycling Italy and Cycling France -- all out this summer! And stay tuned for Cycling New Zealand and Cycling Australia, which will be published in September.

Our revamped cycling series includes complete information on each country, including detailed coverage on the environment, climate, bike-friendly restaurant and accommodation listings and any specific planning information for each town or region. With route descriptions, maps and charts, a cyclists’ directory and information on loading and maintaining your bicycle, these books will help you achieve the ultimate bike tour.

Take a sneak peek here

Fully revised and redesigned, these new editions of cycling guides feature:

A full-color highlights section which inspires with vistas from the routes
All new maps with GPS coordinates for key rides
Overview map, elevation chart and cue sheet for every ride
Easy-to-navigate structure, based on Lonely Planet’s best-selling guidebooks
Comprehensive pre-planning and destination information targeted to cyclists

With specialist cycling information along with Lonely Planet’s trustworthy and informative travel content, this is the only guidebook you’ll need on your next short spin or a long-haul bike tour in Europe!
