A good book - but only for families with children, or the completey untrainedApril 5, 2008 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This cycle guides offers 25 tours, 12 of them on the English south coast and 13 in the greater London Area. All tours cover interesting areas, are certainly worth doing, are well described, and come with a little, indeed helpful map. However, all tours are rather short and appear to be aimed at families with children, or maybe elderly people. Take one of the tours in east London, for example, which starts in Limehouse and ends in Islington Angel: the tour follows the canal towpath for 16 kilometers / 10 miles and can be done by children and completely untrained people alike. Keep this in mind when you buy the guide. For longer tours around London of, say, 60 kilometers / 37 miles, I strongly recommend Nick Cotton's spiral-bound books "Cycle Tours Around London, North" (ISBN-10: 0540081922
