These come to you courtesy of the Bicycle Mania people in the UK, whom we warmly recommend for detailed information about these routes. Regrettably, the detailed routes will only be available after March, 2008. Still, if you have a decent map of the island you should be able to find your way – cycle routes are now well marked and there isn’t that confusing a choice of roads.
