Synopsis "Epic Bike Rides of the World (Lonely Planet) "

Lonely Planet: The world's leading travel guide publisherDiscover 200 of the best places to ride a bike in this beautifully illustrated paperback. From family-friendly, sightseeing urban rides to epic adventures off the beaten track. Destinations range from France and Italy, for the world's great bike races, to the wilds of Mongolia and Patagonia. These journeys will inspire - whether you are an experienced cyclist or just getting started. The book is organised by continent. In the Americas we join a family bikepacking trip in Ecuador; we pedal the Natchez Trace Parkway and stop at legendary music spots; we ride the Pacific Coast Highway in Oregon and California; go mountain biking in Moab and Canada; and explore the cities of Buenos Aires and New York by bicycle. European rides include easy-going trips around Lake Constance, along the Danube and the Loire, and coast-to-coast routes; routes in Tuscany, Spain and Corsica; and professional journeys up Mt Ventoux and around the Tour of Flanders. In Asia, we venture through Vietnam's valleys; complete the Mae Hong Son circuit in northern Thailand; cross the Indian Himalayas; and pedal through Bhutan. And in Australia and New Zealand we take in Tasmania and Queensland by mountain bike; cycle into Victoria's high country and around Adelaide on road bikes; and try some of New Zealand's celebrated cycle trails. Each ride is illustrated with stunning photography and a map. A toolkit of practical details - where to start and finish, how to get there, where to stay and more - helps riders plan their own trips. There are also suggestions for three more similar rides around the world for each story. Each piece shows how cycling is a fantastic way to get to know a place, a people and their culture.

Creemos que viajar es para todos. Nos ayuda a conocernos a nosotros mismos y al mundo que nos rodea.

Nuestro objetivo es ayudar a más personas de diferentes orígenes a experimentar la alegría de explorar. Porque creemos que esto construye un mundo más amable, inclusivo y de mentalidad abierta.

Como tú, viajar está en nuestro ADN. En Lonely Planet, creemos que viajar abre la puerta a las experiencias más grandiosas e inolvidables que la vida puede ofrecer. Y hemos aprendido que el mejor viaje consiste en aventurarse, en dejar atrás lo cotidiano, en sumergirse en uno mismo, en lugar de simplemente admirar los paisajes.

Como viajeros, estás en un viaje, y en Lonely Planet, nosotros también. En los últimos dos años, viajar se ha transformado. Estamos reflexionando profundamente no solo sobre cómo viajamos, sino también sobre por qué viajamos y cómo servir mejor a los viajeros en su viaje, y abordamos nuestro 50.º aniversario con la pasión y el compromiso de ayudar a otros a hacerlo también.
