Best bike trips in Tuscany Italy: Why I’m opening up my secret backyard to you

TLDR

• Bike trips in Tuscany Italy are better when you ditch the tourist maps and follow the tracks of a local pro.

• I am Riccardo, the founder of Tuscany Bike Route, and I provide the logistics and custom curation you need to find the "hidden" Tuscany.

If you’re looking into bike trips in Tuscany Italy, you’ve probably seen the same three famous vineyards and the same crowded paved roads on every travel site. I’m Riccardo, the founder of Tuscany Bike Route, and I started this because I was honestly tired of seeing cyclists stuck in the wrong places. After five years racing professionally across these hills and growing up in my family’s bike rental business, I realized that the real magic of my home isn't on Google Maps.

I built this to solve the "discovery gap." There are incredible family-run trattorias, ancient gravel shortcuts, and artisan workshops in our medieval villages that don’t have a website or a pinned location. If you don't know the person behind the door, you simply walk—or ride—right past them. I wanted to connect riders with these authentic experiences that stay invisible to the average tourist.

I provide highly custom curated trips that act as your "insider pass" to the region. Whether you want a self-guided Tuscany gravel biking adventure or a fully supported road cycling holiday, I handle everything from route design to local connections. For those taking on independent challenges like the Tuscany Trail, I also offer specialized support services, including professional luggage transfer and our camper caravan service, so you can ride light while I move your gear and provide technical assistance.

From bikepacking Tuscany on your own terms to joining one of my private retreats, I make sure your time on our white roads is seamless and deeply local. If you're planning your next cycling trip Italy and want to avoid the traps, let’s build a custom journey that actually shows you the soul of Tuscany.
