Freewheeling and nostalgic, this charming book offers a unique perspective on Britain and its hidden treasures that few people get to see. Glorious scenery, healthy exercise, historic homes: what better way to spend a vacation--or just an afternoon with the family--than on a bike tour in the British Isles? Britain by Bike provides all the authoritative information a biker needs, from interesting routes across every region to unusual attractions and great lodgings. Twenty trips of varying lengths and difficulty range from a journey through Brontë country (Yorkshire and Lancashire) to others in the Costwolds, Wales, and the magical Isle of Wight.
