Sightseeing by bicycle is a great way to cover a lot of ground and still feel the pulse of New York City. Bike tour guides Blackman and Ed Glazer and Michael Green (founder, BikeBlogNYC.com) cover nine routes designed to provide both tourist highlights and local insider knowledge. The book is replete with interesting historical tidbits, as well as information on local restaurants, on-route bike shops, and traffic conditions. It reads like an engaging tour guide's script, but it will be difficult to parse out this information while riding; most notably missing are ride cue sheets and clear maps one might expect from a cycling guidebook. VERDICT This guidebook's strength is the wealth and variety of information about the city and its history. Not well designed for use en route, it is recommended for trip planning and research. Though it's somewhat dated, riders may prefer the clarity and brevity of Phil Harrington's Short Bike Rides in and Around New York City.--Sheila Kasperek, Mansfield Univ. of Pennsylvania Lib.
