Seeing France by bicycle

KEEN cyclists can get a host of information on routes, new technology and tours on a travel website dedicated to seeing France by bicycle.

www.freewheelingfrance.com has been set up by ex-cycle magazine editor Lyn Eyb, who said: “I found reading local cycling and tourism sites difficult when we first moved to Bordeaux as my French was non-existent.

“There was little digestible, independent advice for people wanting to trundle through the countryside or get to know a city by bike.”

Written by noted cycling writers and France experts, it will cover everything to do with leisure cycling from day trips and weekend breaks to longer tours.
