Holland, it's probably the world's most popular country for bicycle touring. It's the place where you can get literally everywhere by bike - just like the natives do. This book highlights more than 50 delightful bike tours into every corner of the country, and sometimes beyond into some of the most picturesque destinations in neighboring Belgium and Germany. Each route is described in extensive detail and illustrated with 2-color route maps. Several of the routes make extensive use of the remaining pedestrian ferries that have carried people across Holland's river delta country for many centuries.

Cycling Maps for Belgium. 1:50,000. Sportoena. This excellent cycling map series covers Belgium and parts of the surrounding regions, such as the Charleroi-Paris and Luxembourg-Paris routes. The maps show local routes, long-distance cycling paths, classification according to the density of traffic, campsites and places of interest, etc. The base maps are brightly colored and very different from most maps and may not appeal to everyone. The maps are designed - and do it well - to highlight the recommended cycling routes and the alternative routes, with information given on the type of road and the density of auto traffic. Route numbers are noted for posted cycling routes and long-distance routes are well marked on the maps. Elevation information is lacking, as the color shading of the base maps is too faint to really be legible. There is a style change between the first few maps (1A-5 or so, published first in the series) and the more recent maps, with the later maps being easier to read. Most of the maps are double-sided and nearly all include English in the legend.
