Louis Rossi is an avid cyclist who retired after a career with the New York State highway department.  He also has a love for history and geology.  All this comes together in his writing of the newest edition of his popular cycling guide, “Cycling Along The Canals of New York.”

He has written much more than a “turn here, go there” type of book -- it is much more.  First of all, he starts from Albany and goes East to West along the Erie Canal.  But you need to read this book beforehand -- while you are planning an outing, and absorb the sights and smells and history that Rossi describes.

Most cyclists are surprised that along with the Erie, there are dozens of canals in New York state.  Rossi picks some of the major ones and outlines rides along them -- a unique feature of the book.  He has ridden hundreds of miles all over New York and tells you where the bike lane might be tight, or where the best historic sites are.  Having ridden in Europe as well, he even includes a “Giro Loop” that reminds him of Italy.

This is our best selling book.  Thousands of cyclists have learned about the unique aspects of cycling upstate New York through Rossi’s writing.  Why not order a copy today?
