How does a bike tour work?
These are vacations on bicycle paths and on the best bicycle touring routes in Italy and Europe, with overnight stay in selected accommodations, luggage transfer service, tour information, bike rental and assistance. Girolibero cycling vacations are suitable for everyone, from experienced cycle tourists to those who have never tried one. You can choose between self-guided tours with route maps, or in a group with a tour leader.
How can I prepare for a cycling tour?
Before departure, we recommend that you use your bike often, especially to get used to the saddle.
Check carefully the level of the tour you have chosen so that you can best prepare yourself for the kilometers that awaits you.
On self-guided tours you need to be prepared to handle small unforeseen events on your own, such as changing an inner tube or repositioning the chain.
To help you, we have prepared these videos for you:
