About the Author
Mike has been a keen long distance cyclist for over 25 years. After completing various UK Sustrans routes, such as Lôn Las Cymru in Wales and the C2C route across northern England, he then moved on to cycling long-distance routes in continental Europe and beyond. These include cycling both the Camino and Ruta de la Plata to Santiago de la Compostela, a traverse of Cuba from end to end, a circumnavigation of Iceland and a trip across Lapland to the North Cape.
While working for a travel company he made frequent visits to various parts of the Rhine Valley and saw the cycle-friendly infrastructure all along the river. This inspired him to cycle the route for the first time with his partner Christine. In researching the first edition of this book, Mike cycled the length of the river three more times, following cycle routes along both banks and exploring other alternatives.
