Last year, the trips of two or more days have gone literally snapped up, so that in some cases the entries have closed within hours. For this reason we have multiplied the proposals of the last two, three or four days, with trips always include trolley bus to transport the bike: "The cypresses of Bolgheri, Tuscany in two days," The path Alpe Adria ", from Tarvisio Palmanova," The Lagoon ", cycling between Padua, Venice and Chioggia," The National Cicloraduno "around in Turin, and even the Lake of Zurich, the path of the River Mur in Austria and Istria.

This trip will be divided into four modules of 4-6 days each, so that each member can decide whether to do the whole route, or participate in one or more Forms. "  
 
  Area also nonviolent efforts with the confirmation of the now traditional Paciclica, "which takes cyclists from various Italian cities in Perugia - says the president - and then join the peace march up to Assisi will take place in September and is a very participatory event, born in Brescia and its now become a national event of the Italian Federation of Friends of the bike. " Many will be in Umbria to celebrate 50 years of the Perugia-Assisi first created in 1961 by the philosopher Aldo Capitini.
