Cycle Touring For Beginners

This concise guide covers everything beginners and more experienced cycle tourers need to know, including what you don't need in order to enjoy cycle touring. Covering what sort of bike you need, how fit do you need to be (not super-fit) and whether or not you should bring luxuries (of course you should), Cycle Touring For Beginners encourages you to try exploring your world by bicycle, whether that's an overnight trip in your own county or a two-month tour in another country, and whether you're staying in guest houses or camping. With encouragement and tips on everything from how to eat to keep yourself healthy to what to bring in your tool kit, this book will have you itching to saddle up and start your own bike touring adventure this weekend.
