Harold Briercliffe (1910-1994) was an English author of a series of cycle touring guides. These were a spin-off from the magazine Cycling (a magazine now published as Cycling Weekly). They were cheaply made volumes with attractive colour print covers, designed to be kept in the pocket of saddlebags. In 2010, Clare Balding presented a BBC TV series called Britain By Bike that retraced some of Briercliffe's routes using his old Dawes Super Galaxy.
