About the author

OUR STORY
A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

An inspiring book! Mine is now full of post-it notes bookmarking the rides I'd really like to do.

Much like the Epic Bike Rides of the Americas, this is a fantastic high level guide book.

My imagination is alight with potential rides, and I'm starting preliminary travel planning for a cycle trip (or few!) in Europe. Many options from Portugal to Turkey (East/West) and from Scotland down to the tip of Italy and everywhere in between, the guide book presents so many options (with beautiful pictures throughout).

I've tabbed the heck out of the book, and the planning muscles are in full force.

Anche se in lingua inglese si presta facilmente alla lettura. Un bel ventaglio di scelte fra le molteplici che l'Europa propone per chi ama la bicicletta. Schede tecniche, approfondimenti e discrete immagini faranno la felicità del ciclista che vuole assaggiare il "vecchio continente". Una buona lettura per pomeriggi freddi e piovosi se nevica allora usciamo... certamente:).

Good general guide to big rides, it lacks depth in that one needs to research anything but the most basic details. I think the constraints put to keep it at a reasonable size hurts the final result a bit and having a few more pages available per route would have helped in making it more of a reference

better than the world-wide one, I think. More in-dept.

Interesting overview of different bike routes in Europe - my main criticism was that I wish they mentioned elevation change with every route!
