Italy bike trips
Italy is a cyclists dream. The country is interesting because of the history that it has, its natural beauties and the sea. All that you would like to see in one place. When you are in Italy you can feel the past under your feet, see the present as it is and smell the future in the air. This mix is something that you wouldn’t like to miss.

Doing my research on the Internet about bike trips in Italy I concluded that there is so much that I found it hard to hold my attention on only one. I chose something interesting just to introduce you to the biking views that Italy has to offer.
This trip offers a unique experience going trough the heart of Tuscany. It starts will hills and valleys so that it ends on the coast of the sea. The first four days are a ride through a down drop in Southern Tuscany where you can see also some of the 13th century cities. Afterwards the cyclists get a taste of the local Tuscan cuisine. In the second half of the trip they go and visit a hospice of the 13th century, and stay in this wonderful hotel that grows its own organic food. On their way they see the olive groves, costal villages, woodlands all of the untouched nature. Uh, whish I was there now!
There are also people who love energetic ridding. This trip that I red about was an hour away from Rome, called Abruzzo. This is a place covered with mountains and as you travel along you see the Adriatic Sea on the east and the Apennines to west. The thing that I loved the most about this trip is that you pass through places where the great Cesar must have passed with his troupes.
And the last trip that I saw was a ride by the Adriatic coast. This ride was suitable for all levels of cycling because it had a lot of energetic climbs, descends and cursing along the Adriatic coast (which I personally liked best). The most interesting is that you don’t need a companion for this trip. It’s perfectly suitable for singles.
Well I think it is best for me to stop here. There are thousand of great tips that you can find on the internet and it will only confuse you. You won’t know which place to choose first. Believe me whatever you choose it won’t be a mistake; Italy is something worth wile even if you cycle it for a month you won’t get enough of the sights.
