Fifty Places to Bike Before You Die: Biking Experts Share the World's Greatest Destinations

My husband enjoyed reading about all the different places to bike ride and the detailed routes. He’s got a lot of ideas now.

If you are interested in tour-cycling, then this book is worth every penny. As a prior review mentioned, the 50 rides profiled in this book are written by individuals from various touring companies and non-profit organizations. This is what makes it good. You are hearing about the rides from the people who know them well. If you are really interested in a ride, you can choose to find a tour company or just use this book as a guide for creating your own tour.What I like most about this book is that it has opened my mind to some tours I wasn't even aware of. I'm 45 years old in 2013, and am doing two of the tours from this book. If I can do at least two per year I'll have this list accomplished by the time I'm 70...hopefully there will be another book with 50 more rides to choose from.There are so many places to do a bike tour. This book really helps you choose some of the most amazing destinations. I like browsing through this book so much I've ordered a 2nd copy for my office.

This was bought as a gift for a good friend who loves to bike. He loved the book and plans to have his own adventures

I checked out this book and "Fifty Places to Hike before you Die" from our local library before deciding to order them. My husband is especially into bicycles and wanted his own copy. I ordered the books as Father's Day gifts. I like that the books include places from around the world. It's doubtful we will ever do all 50, but should we ever be in one of the countries listed, we've already got an alternative to check out besides the usual tourist stops. There are also quite a few bike rides in the U.S. that we will try out. It's also just fun to read so see what's out there.In response to some reviews that these books are blatant promotions, I disagree. I would rather hear from the experts. On some of these adventures we may want a guide, but on others, in places we know fairly well, the book has given enough information to go on our own with maybe a little more research. To me it would be impossible for the author to scour the globe in search of 50 places worth visiting. Talking to the experts seems to be a much more logical way of compiling the information.

well defined and good resource suggestions for outfitters

Got this as a gift for my boyfriend's brother who is really into cycling and various other outdoor activities. The book was larger than I expected and very nice quality. He loved it and starting reading it right away! Great gift idea for those hard to shop for!

Extremely well written by numerous experts according to the Biking Enthusiasts in our family. They love it. So glad we found it to send as a gift.

Bought for a family member who lives bikes and he thought it was Great! He was surprised some major places he knew of were not in there from the United States.

Fotos lindas… mas texto muitooo tempo descritivo . Pensei que fosse mais síntese para roteiro

La couverture du livre etait dechiree a un endroit ce qui est domage.

I bought this for a friend's birthday. Apparently her husband loves it and she's now having the challenge of extracting it from him!

Das Buch also solches ist natürlich von hoher Qualität, von den Zielen kann man allerdings nur träumen. Gibt es mehr über nähere? Wäre gut zu wissen.

Great Book to Inspire some Great Road Trips ! Especially when it's snowing outside ... and it Snows a lot in Montreal!
