Touring a new city on foot or by bicycle provides perspectives not possible from car or bus. The folks at Rapha, sellers of very hip cycling gear, get this and have created a marvelous series of European urban travel guidebooks.

The eight pocket-sized, retro-styled books, which come in a nifty slipcase, provide detailed information on sightseeing attractions, food & drink options, wifi hotspots, bike shops and more. They also offer great maps and suggested neighborhood tours of less visited districts.

If you love a good travel guidebook (even if you’re a non-biker) , this colorful collection of illustrated, pocket guides to major European cities will provide street-level perspective and tons of local knowledge missing from traditional guidebooks.
