View the world anew through the handlebars of a two-wheeler! The travel gurus at Lonely Planet present "the planet's most thrilling cycling routes" in this spectacular guide for globetrotters. From afternoon jaunts (shadow Paul Revere along Massachusetts's Minuteman Bikeway) to multiday excursions (skirt the shores of Lake Geneva), cycling offers a new perspective on the people and places that make up our fascinating world. And for those content to ride the stationary bike at the gym, you'll still enjoy vivid accounts of biking Europe's longest river, embarking upon a journey of self-discovery in northern Thailand, even conquering the 7,500- mile Tour d'Afrique. Bon voyage!
