Tour n.1: Florence by bike
Every time I see an adult on a bicycle I think there is still hope for the human race

Tour n.2: The Way of Gods: from Bologna to Florence by bike

A very suggestive itinerary to be covered by bike is undoubtedly "La Via degli Dei". A path consisting of paths, roads and mule tracks that extends for about 130 kilometers, from Florence to the city of Bologna, crossing the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. For its uniqueness and beauty, has been nicknamed by many "The Italian Way of St. James", making a clear reference to the Way of St. James of Compostela in Spain. The route is passable on foot or by bicycle. Surely this second hypothesis is very suggestive and interesting. For those who love adventure and want to try a new experience by putting themselves to the test, the Way of the Gods is a concrete certainty. However, the route is not for beginners. The gradients along the entire route are challenging, the climbs are steep and long, the descents are very technical and often at the limit of Enduro. So don't face it without training and without a bit of practice. The most suitable bike to tackle this route is undoubtedly a mountain bike, with muscular or assisted pedaling. The Way of the Gods is a spectacular route, joining two wonderful cities and passing through breathtaking landscapes that enter you inside and inspire peace, calm and desire for freedom.
Tour n.3: From the beach of Paolina to the top of Monte Perone

A very beautiful and suggestive itinerary to be covered by bike is the one that crosses the hills of Monte Albano up to the Paolina Beach. An area, whose morphology is very particular, that makes the excursion by bike suitable for expert bikers or at least trained. The itinerary begins about 200 meters after the access to the beautiful beach of Paolina, along the Provincial road to Marciana Marina, you will arrive in Redinoce, place from which you can take the path number 43. A path that enters a beautiful forest of chestnut, arbutus and holm oak. A very demanding uphill path that requires, at times, to carry the bike on your shoulders. At the end of the path you reach the paved road, uphill of course, which leads to the panoramic area of Mount Perone. Immersed in a cool pine forest you can admire the stretch of coastline from Marina di Campo to Costa dei Gabbiani. From the square of Monte Perone you take a road downhill: the path marked by the number 5, which leads to Sant'Ilario. Once arrived at the crossroads, turning right, after about half a kilometer, you will reach Monte Castello, on the top of which are still visible the remains of an ancient Etruscan fortification. Continuing along the route, you will arrive at Redinoce, the access point of path 43. From there the road will be downhill and will lead to the starting point, next to the beautiful beach of Paolina.
A bike ride is an escape from sadness

Pius II, once he became Pope, wanted to transform his humble birthplace, Corsignano, into an urban-architectural treasure.

A route unraveled in about 220 kilometers of Tuscan landscapes, among hills, countryside and cities of art. The Arno bike path is completely downhill.
