TOURING THE LOS ANGELES AREA BY BICYCLE...
TOURING THE LOS ANGELES AREA BY BICYCLE by Peter Powers (Ten Speed Press: $12.95, illustrated). This neat, pocket-sized guide is obviously the work of an experienced cyclist: The directions for each route are unusually thorough, and the text includes both altitude profiles and computer-generated topographic maps that give the rider an idea of what he’s getting into. The 17 chapters cover the southern portion of the state, from Santa Barbara to Laguna Beach and Big Bear.
