Cycle Touring Books is a website built around guidebooks for bicycle touring in Europe. Its core products are two English-language books: Cycling Europe: Great Day Rides and Cycling Along Europe’s Rivers: Bicycle Touring Made Easy and Affordable. From an education/course perspective, it is not a video course or bootcamp; instead, it delivers knowledge about planning independent cycling trips in Europe, route suggestions, and travel preparation methods in book form.
Cycling Europe: Great Day Rides focuses on more than 90 self-guided day-ride routes starting from over 30 European cities. It is suited to users who want to add a cycling activity to a European holiday or business trip. The routes are generally relatively flat and can be completed with locally rented bicycles or e-bikes, without the need to move luggage frequently as in point-to-point long-distance touring.
The third edition of Cycling Along Europe’s Rivers was updated in 2021 and focuses on cycling routes along European rivers such as the Rhine, Danube, Elbe, Loire, Po, Neckar, Moselle, and Main. It includes more than 25 historical, cultural, and scenic routes, with over 60 newly added route maps. The content covers how to plan a trip, how to carry a bicycle and panniers, what gear to bring, accommodation and dining, safety, communications, and transport logistics.
The website does not disclose specific pricing. It only states that the books can be purchased on Amazon, and offers a standard black-and-white edition, color print edition, Kindle edition, and Deluxe Color Version. The learning format is mainly self-study through English-language print books or ebooks. No certificates, assignments, instructor Q&A, or course community were found.
The advantages are its focused topic and relatively wide selection of routes, making it especially suitable for people who want to organize their own low-cost cycling trips in Europe. The author also appears to have substantial experience: the site states that he has cycled in Europe every year for more than 25 years and has been mentioned by Harvard Magazine. The drawbacks are that the information is static, so actual road conditions, bike rentals, accommodation, and safety factors still need to be verified independently by users. It also lacks a course-style structure, interactive support, and clear pricing information.
It is suitable for users with good English reading ability who are preparing for a cycling trip in Europe and want to plan routes independently rather than join a tour group. It is also suitable for people staying in European cities who want to arrange short cycling outings. It is less suitable for learners who want systematic cycling skills training, certification, or Chinese-language instruction. Access from mainland China is not stated in the source text, so it is considered unknown.
