This weekend you could be riding one of the 35 best cycling routes in London..
Click to download the 35 London Cycle Routes eBook

You may think: Cycling in London involves breathing in fumes on congested roads with taxis and buses all competing for the same bit of road space. The only way to escape is to head as far away from London as possible!

The reality is: There are some incredible places to cycle in London and it’s amazing how most people have never heard of them. This guide will show you where all the best routes are. You’ll discover off-road nature routes, quiet lanes and a side of London you never knew existed.

The 35 London Cycle Routes eBook can be instantly downloaded with GPS coordinates for just £12.95 £9.95 free (see below). It is perfect for keen road cyclists looking to discover great new cycle routes, new cyclists looking for quieter traffic-free rides and mountain bikers wanting to head off-road.

Finding your perfect London cycle route..

Once you’ve downloaded the eBook you can start to discover which ride you want to try first. Perhaps you fancy a nice short traffic-free ride that you can take your kids on. Alternatively, perhaps you’re looking to cover some more miles and do some longer loop rides on quiet country lanes on your road bike. The eBook covers a great variety of rides starting at a short 5 mile canal cycle routes to longer, more challenging 113 mile rides.

All the cycle routes are pinned on a big map of London so you can quickly get started with the one nearest to you. Alternatively you can pick one out by distance or flick through the rides and see the one that sounds perfect to you.

Once you have picked a good London cycle route you can take a look at pictures for inspiration and flick through the description to see what interesting things there are to see along the way. (Of course, this includes great pub stops!)

When you set off you can choose to print out the map or load the included GPS coordinates. This makes it as easy as possible to follow the route and to start discovering great new places in London to cycle.

Take a look inside..

Here’s a sample shot from inside the 128 page eBook showing the introduction to the route. Each ride introduction includes a link to a Google Map of the route, details on distance, difficulty and nearby transport connections.

The newly updated maps make the route easy to follow showing you the points of interest, mileage markers as well as nearby facilities.

Quirky London Cycle Route

Don’t miss these experiences..

  • Head to Biggin Hill for gorgeous views, quiet country lanes and testing hill climbs
  • Escape for the weekend to the seaside and enjoy incredible scenery on the 75 mile route
  • Discover the architecture, quirkiness and markets of London
  • Grab the mountain bike and hurtle yourself at speed through a muddy forest
  • Take in the London relaxed canal life and see the city from a different perspective

GPS coordinates – a first..

I’ve included all the GPX, KML and TCX coordinates in the download. This means you can load up the file on your favourite mapping website, your mobile phone or your GPS device. This is a first in a guidebook and has received a lot of praise from leading cycling figures:

“This is the way forward for bike guidebooks: digital and with attached GPS files. I loved the quirkiness of this book, with lots of head-turning attractions yet not of the usual kind found in mainstream guidebooks. This an e-book to make you want to get out and explore bits of London you might not have considered before.” -Carlton Reid, Journalist for bikebiz.com and author of Bike to Work Book.

The GPS coordinates mean you can follow the route in any way you want. On your iPhone/Android, GPS device such as a Garmin or on a mapping website such as Google Maps.

Some of the feedback from 100’s of cyclists who have already downloaded the 35 London Cycle Routes eBook

“Loving my 35 London cycle routes. I have been cycling around London all my life, but part of the problem with that is that I know my areas so well that I rarely just go out for an explore. If nothing else, this book is an inspiration to do something a bit different on a sunny Saturday morning. It does that job very well because it has been put together so nicely, with such attention to detail: from photos, to points of interest, to GPS coordinates (which I have stuck on my Nokia along with the book, so it is always handy). Much more than I had expected for under a tenner. Many thanks.”

-Andrea

“This is a superb book, definitely one of the best bike related purchases I’ve done in a long time. This eBook includes a fab variety of cycle routes, from Central London ones to more countryside ones. Whether you want to sight see London’s most famous monuments, test your thighs on some wicked hills, or do some serious distance, you really have lots of choice to pick from. I also liked the way they are rated according to how easy they are”

– Jerome

“Great eBook, bargain price. The layout and pictures are beautifully done, maps are good resolution. Like the variety of routes, can’t wait to try them out. The download process was quick and easy too.”

-Paul

“I purchased this today and wasn’t expecting to go for a ride but then I found the London Night Ride section and as we were only talking about doing this in the week there are a few of us hitting the London roads tonight should the weather hold up.

To those wondering if its worth it I’d say a big fat YES! I hesitated before clicking the buy button as i’d seen some really bad ebooks then I realised that i spend more on coffee for me and the wife than I would on this, so away I went and bought it.

Conclusion : It’s far better value for money than any skinny tall latte I could have had (and this is a calorie burner ) the quality is excellent it’s very clear and well put together and the addition of the Google Earth and GPS files is fantastic, well worth the money.”

-Lee
