well, it's probably not a huge categorey, the bike books on cuba, but Lynette's intro/extrospective tale would surely be the best.
her account of her escapade takes you into a private cuba probably few tourists have experienced. in page after page, Lynette serves you her passion for people like some magic tea. it's lovely to sip her insightful contemplations of life, love, bike-touring, society, and the fine art of tasting good food.
