    Portugues route from Lisbon by bicycle

    We are hoping to ride the route from Lisbon to Porto then onto Santiago. Has anyone done this trip, and if so, what should be be aware of. Are there places to rent bikes in Lisbon for this purpose? We prefer not to join a guided tour. Are there any specific bicycle books available?
