These Cycling guides bring together clear maps, stage descriptions, and practical tips for touring and bikepacking on paved roads, cycle paths, and gravel. The range includes Cycling in the Netherlands and Cycling in Germany, mountain routes in Cycling in the Alps, Cycling in Scandinavia, Cycling elsewhere in Europe, and Cycling in the rest of the world.

Most titles include route overviews, daily distances, elevation profiles, surface and traffic notes, highlights, and access to GPX downloads or QR-linked tracks when available. Many guides show waymarking, public transport links, bike shops, water points, and accommodation such as campsites and guesthouses.

For lowland networks like Cycling in the Netherlands and Cycling in Germany, look for node-based mapping, family-friendly options, and shortcuts for flexible stages. For high terrain in Cycling in the Alps, check gradients, pass closures, and weather windows. For Cycling in Scandinavia, ferries, remoteness, and seasonal light are key considerations.

Formats vary: compact pocket guides for lightweight touring, spiral-bound atlases that lie flat on a handlebar bag, and waterproof tear-resistant maps for rough weather. Map scales typically range from 1:50,000 to 1:200,000; choose finer scales for complex routing and broader scales for overview planning.

Choose a guide by matching trip length, preferred surface, and daily elevation to your plans. Check language, edition date, and whether GPX files are included. If you camp, look for guides with campsite listings; if you rely on lodging, seek clear town stage breaks and transport options for start and finish.
