Cycling Hawaii

Hawaii has a great appeal for cyclists, offering exotic scenery and an ideal climate. A day's ride in Hawaii can lead a cyclist past deserts, rain forests, volcanoes and a stunning shoreline. This cycling tour guide provides directions for touring routes on all the main Hawaiian islands: Maui, Moloka'i, Lana'i, Hawaii, Kauai and Oahu. The author covers getting to Hawaii and getting around, visas and what to bring, environmental conditions, politics and language. He examines the advantages and disadvantages of taking your own bike or renting one locally, and discusses repairs. There are 50 two-colour route maps and 27 cycle tours involving modest distances and beautiful scenery. The guide also looks at how to make short cycling tours part of a non-cycling holiday.
