More Cycling Without Traffic: The Midlands & Peak District - Nick Cotton
More and more people are realising that cycling is good fro both health and well-being. The government has started promoting cycling as a way of solving transport problems, and the National Cyle Network will soon have a major effect by helping to change lifestyles and peoples mode of transport.
However, vehicle numbers are still increasing which means that even minor lanes can become busy with traffic - you can very rarely be guaranteed to find the safety, peace and quiet that are the essential ingredients of a family bike ride on the road network.
This book describes 30 routes, most of them easy and wymarked, where you can cycle away from traffic, and gives further information about where to ride and how to obtain cycling leaflets produced by local authorities and other organisations.
