Written by two longtime cyclists—one a professor of history and one an architect—the book offers an affectionate, intimate, and provocative reading of the local landscape and history from the perspectives of cycling and Cincinnati enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTours, navigated by Smythe and Hanlon, take cyclists past Native American sites, early settler homesteads, and locations made known through recent Ohio change-makers. With extensive details on routes and sites along the way, tours between 20 and 80 miles in length are designed for all levels of cyclists, and even the armchair explorer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRiders and readers will visit towns called Edenton, Loveland, Felicity, and Utopia. Along the journey, they’ll encounter an abandoned Shaker village near the Whitewater Forest and a tiny dairy house called “Harmony Hill,” the oldest standing structure in Clermont County, Ohio. They’ll also take in the view from the top of a 2,000-year-old, 75-foot tall, conical Indian mound at Miamisburg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRiders can follow the Little Miami Scenic Trail and take a detour to a castle on the banks of the Little Miami River. Other sights include a full-scale replica of the tomb of Jesus in Northern Kentucky and the small pleasures of public parks, covered bridges, tree-lined streets, riverside travel, and one-room schoolhouses. And if all this isn’t exactly Paradise, well, it’s pretty close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362524578028,"sku":"9781947602755","price":50.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11666563482881.jpg?v=1772887851","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/bicycling-through-paradise-historical-rides-around-cincinnati-by-chris-hanlin-9781947602755","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
