Salento Bike Tour was created with the aim of supporting the use of bicycles as a way to get acquainted with the Salento region and to promote cycling as the future for urban mobility and tourism.
Salento Bike Tours offers to both visitors as well as local residents the opportunity to slowly wander through the territory, to know it for the first time or rediscover it, with all the senses according to each one’s different strength and energy. Too many important things are missed from the close compartment of a car – smells, sounds, views…. With Salento Bike Tours we can give them back to you!
Salento is a very friendly land to cyclists: the region is almost flat, the temperatures are mild from March to October, it is crossed by a dense morphology network of rural roads, through which it is possible to entirely avoid the more trafficked roads. It a pedals lovers’ paradise!
In Salento cycling never took off and local government has not supported it so far, notwithstanding its great potentials.
For what concerns urban mobility for example, Lecce the capital of Salento is the ideal city for cyclists, yet, it is still choked by a senseless and maddening traffic.
Salento Bike Tour promotes a lifestyle focused on reducing consumption of energy, and centered on the bicycle as one of the means to a wiser and fairer world. Sustainable farmers and artisans, who work respectfully of the territory, landscape and culture, are involved in Salento Bike Tour.
