A good book - but only for families with children, or the completey untrained - By: Londonlinguist, 05 Apr 2008
This cycle guides offers 25 tours, 12 of them on the English south coast & 13in the greater London Area. All tours cover interesting areas, are certainly worth doing, are well described, & come with a little, indeed helpful map. However, all tours are rather short & appear to be aimed at families with children, or maybe elderly people. Take one of the toursin east London, for example, which startsin Limehouse & endsin Islington Angel: the tour follows the canal towpath for 16 kilometers / 10 miles & can be done by children & completely untrained people alike. Keep thisin 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
