The Cyclists' Route Book for Great Britain & Ireland

The Cyclists' Route Book for Great Britain & Ireland
By:William James Spurrier
Published on 1893 by

This 216 page route book provides |original descriptions of upwards of 20,000 miles of road, showing the best routes.| The modern reader will find the historical information in the Introduction highly entertaining. It covers topics still of importance and interest to cyclists today: how to get (or stay) physically fit, bike maintenance, clothing and food en route, and weather conditions. The advice has changed a bit in the intervening 125 years. The authors of the Cyclists' Route Book insist that wool is the only appropriate attire |when perspiration is likely to take place.| They are also adamant that |corsets must be discarded| and give complicated instructions on creating a |practical| riding dress. (It is a wonder that those trying to follow these instructions didn't give up in despair and don trousers.) The abbreviation |V.D.H.| is found throughout the route book; it designates a Very Dangerous Hill. (While fully respecting that the safe navigation of hills was, and continues to be, an important skill, this designation is quaintly reminiscent of something Winnie-the-Pooh might say ...).
