 touring handbook April 29, 2008
Well written with lots of beneficial information. Not all of it is relative but all of it has it's purpose. It definitely gives those of us who are interested in touring food for thought.
Fantastic! March 22, 2008
This is a fantastic book about the realities of bike touring. Everything you need to know about the appropriate equipment, the countries, road conditions, visas, weather, etc. I couldn't put it down.

I thought this book was very through, from gear selection, to stories to get you excited go on a trip. I would recommend it to any long-distance dreaming cycler.

In the mid 1970's when I was a kid my mom gave me a coffee table book on bicycling. I forget the title and author and the book is long gone. In it was a section on "bikepacking" as cycle touring was coined back then. It was the inspiration for a life of traveling by bicycle. Stephen Lord's "Adventure Cycle-Touring Handbook" will do the same for countless others with a spirit of adventure, but the information contained within is invaluable. No more learning the hardway. Pay attention to what is written and know yourself; you will go a long way. Like the Patagonia cataloges of the era in which I grew up and the Bridgestone Bicycle cataloges of the era in which I matured, this book will be coveted by those in the know and become treasured and collected. If you've ever toured, read it and know what I mean. If you haven't, pick up a copy and hit the road.

This is a great book. The 3 sections allow riders to learn about adventure travel according to the mood they are in. I used the bike recommendations to buy the Volpe. Great purchase. Warning: this book will encourage you to travel. Wish list: a web site like crazyguyonabike.com so readers can keep abreast of updates. Cheers Lord. Nice job.
