The greatest bicycle journeys on the planet
A recently released book will have cyclists dreaming of reopened international borders and the chance to pedal some spectacular touring routes.
Cycle touring allows you to cover more distance than hiking while still immersing yourself in beautiful natural surroundings.
As the Tour de France makes its grand départ from Brest this weekend, local cycling fans will be feeling the weight of Australia’s travel bans. There’ll be no trips to France this year to watch La Grande Boucle in person and cycle parts of the route itself.
But to whet your appetite and start sketching out your bicycle adventures for when international travel once again becomes a reality, Ultimate Cycling Trips: World by Andrew Bain offers plenty of inspiration for itineraries around the globe.
