[Gocamino] Camino guides in English to do the camino on bike??

[Sil]

Taken from my new book "your Camino on foot, bicycle or horseback in France
and Spain" which has a chapter for biking the Camino including the
following:

In this chapter

* *

*The different routes*

*Which bike is best*

*Panniers or trailer*

*Bicycle kit*

*Training*

*Travelling with your bike*

*Bike rental*

*Road or off-road*

*Guides, maps, computers*

*Cycling blogs and websites*

Guides

*The Cycling Pilgrim on the Camino Francés*: John Curtin 2007. Advice on
bicycles, loading, and kit, prepared by cyclists, with information on means
of getting bicycles to and from Spain, and some route suggestions for
touring bikes away from the walkers’ route.


*The Way of St James:* *Le Puy to Santiago– A cyclist’s Guide*: John
Higginson. 1997. Covers the entire French and Spanish route.
www.cicerone.co.uk

 *A Practical Guide for Pilgrims: The Road to Santiago*: Millán Bravo Lozano
(Everest). A guide for walkers with a section for cyclists with stages,
profiles and route descriptions.

*3-in-One: Three Great Bike Trails – Camino Frances, Aragones and Via de La
Plata*. www.mundicamino.com *

**Camino Frances: Road Cycling Guide*: In Spanish, but easy to use, the
first guide path for cyclists.

Mapping at 75 000 ° with GPS integration. The guide is aimed at both bikers
and beginners who want to avoid the difficult sections.

Hope this helps!
