When I started having bike touring holidays I longed for someone to sit me down and tell me about the joys and pitfalls that I might encounter along the way. 10 years later, after many adventures, I have put together the advice that I wished for when I started out. The book talks about your choice of bike, clothing, luggage, route, navigation and much more, and helps you to get the most enjoyment out of your trip. The text is easy going and informal and rather than telling you how to have your own holiday, it guides you to make your own decisions on how you want to have your holiday.
