An uplifting collection of routes, journeys, anecdotes, and tips to explore the country by bicycle
They say that what matters is the journey and not the destination, and that couldn't be more accurate when it comes to bicycle touring and bike packing. Taking the roads less travelled, exploring the surroundings at every pedal of the way, and embracing the freedom it offers: long-distance cycling is more than a method of transportation - it's a vibrant travelling philosophy.
Bicycle Getaways is the publication to discover the adventurous spirit of bikepacking. Exploring journeys in different regions around the world, introducing the people and culture around it, and giving you the lowdown of all the tips and tricks, this book presents the insights and inspiration to plan your own expeditions, no matter how experienced (or not) you are. Pack your bag and prep your bike, the journey awaits!
