Tuscany by Bike (Toscana in bicicletta) is a new guide that highlights the many fascinating attractions of Tuscany just waiting to be discovered on two wheels. “This guide enhances and identifies Tuscany, highlighting its cycle routes, and much more,- says the President of the Tuscan Region Eugenio Giani. – It is a support for tourists who love to travel on two wheels and want to discover our region’s history, culture, art, food, wines and unique lifestyle.”
Giving new life to small towns
"Many of Tuscany’s historical cycle routes have been rediscovered and brought back into vogue over the years and are ideal occasions to combine sport and the discovery of Tuscany, giving a new lease of life to small towns and villages throughout the region, added Giani.
“Cycling holidays almost surpass winter tourism”
Cycling is experiencing a rebirth, thanks to the progress of technology and the advent of pedal-assisted bicycles bringing many more people closer to places that are often difficult to access, thanks to the clean energy provided by electricity. “Taking as an example Abetone, in the province of Pistoia, the movement in economic terms generated during the summer by cycle tourism paradoxically almost surpasses that produced by winter tourism.”
