Product Description

Most guides to bicycling Europe are filled with very general practical information and describe routes in a long-winded narrative format, impractical for most cyclists. In addition, most focus on just one region or country. Written by Jerry Soverinksy, the owner of a Chicago-based tour company specializing in European destinations (www cbttours.com), this book differs from its predecessors by featuring (a) detailed information for 7 - to 10 - day tours in 10 countries, (b) route descriptions in the form of precise, turn-by-turn "cue sheets" detailing notable landmarks, and (c) detailed information for each tour, including historical overviews of regions, food and lodging accommodations to suit any budget, and up-to-date contact information.

Customer Reviews

I'm glad I got this from the library
This author has no respect for his readers. the book is about 65% 14 year old boy humour, and 35% (often misleading)information. Does he really think that the UK is two hours ahead of GMT and that GMT uses Greenland as a reference? The instructions are confusing; as an example on page 108 he talks about "Bourton on the Sea" Does he mean Bourton on the Water. This isn't funny; it's misleading.
I'm glad I borrowed it from the library, rather than wasting money.
