A player of Traveling Slowly, Gregorio Rodríguez, has asked us for a list with a selection of bike books that we have been recommending on the radio program. The titles are accumulating and it is not easy for us to choose. We share the result with all of you.
We have also tried to make them books that you can get, without a doubt, of the selection the most complicated is Travels with Rocinante by Bernard Magnouloux. At Viajando Despacio we have been lucky enough to speak with many of the authors of these books and you have the interviews in the postcads of the program.
In addition, Gregorio asked us where these books can be purchased, and we decided that we should also pay a small tribute to the people who, from publishing houses, physical or online bookstores, make efforts to promote this type of literature. We want to thank them and include them in this article so that you can get to know them and turn to them when you are looking for a book as a gift or for yourselves.
