If you don't plan to visit Cuba but enjoy reading travel narratives by those who have traveled to exotic places, BUY THIS BOOK. I have just returned from a two week bicycle trip with two friends and can report from experience that Bicycling Cuba is spot-on about everything. The Smiths have many years experience leading bike tours for a large bicycle touring company, so their guide book and route directions are presented as cyclists need and use them.

The book also contains a lot of other useful information, for example, on accomodation. We warmly recommend Bicycling Cuba for independent cyclists planning a trip to Cuba.
