Cycle Escapes London in a Box cover

Escape London's bustle by bike with this unique cycling guide.

In this boxed collection of 35 pocket-size cards you'll find a happy mix of specially-devised cycling routes around London and the surrounding countryside. The cycle-route cards include peaceful inner city rides, rides that start out in the city then head out into the countryside, and routes that start outside the capital and can be easily reached by a short train journey.

  • Inspirational bike rides - handy, pocket size cards that brim with photos and artwork that bring the tour to life
  • Box includes transparent sleeve - if it rains you can pop the card into the sleeve to protect it from the elements
  • Memorable expeditions these ingeniously thought-out routes make clever use of green lanes, cycle paths and bridleways. Did you know that you can cycle from Wapping to Hertford using traffic-free paths and only a handful of quiet city streets? Little-known routes will seamlessly transport you from the city to secluded country lanes and villages
  • Routes for everyone most of the routes take one day, making a cycle escape ideal for clearing your head but knowing you ll be back by teatime! The rides are mainly easy, great for families, as well as a few that are longer and more challenging
  • All the planning is done for you - each card has a map, route instructions, points of interest and essential information including train connections

Pocket a card, leave the box on your bookshelf and enjoy a glorious day out on your bike.
