"Bicycling Through Paradise is a collection of twenty historically themed cycling tours broken into 10-mile segments centered around the Cincinnati, Ohio area. Written by two longtime cyclists-one a professor of history and one an architect-the book is an affectionate, intimate, and provocative reading of the local landscape and history from the perspectives of cycling and Cincinnati enthusiasts. Tours, navigated by Smythe and Hanlin, take cyclers past Native American sites, early settler homesteads, and locations made know through recent Ohio change-makers as navigated by the authors. With extensive details on routes and sites along the way, tours between 20 and 80 miles in length are designed for all levels of cyclists, and even the armchair explorer. And if all this isn't exactly paradise, well, it's pretty close"-- Provided by publisher
