USEFUL INFO FOR GOOD CYCLISTS

The 10 +1 basic rules for being a cyclist.

1) Don’t attempt to do the “Giro d’Italia” straight away, but build up to it gradually.

2) Did you have a “fortifying” breakfast at least an hour before departure? Ask at reception what they recommend.

3) Have you checked the pressure of your tyres? Ask at reception if you need any help.

4) Do you have a water bottle? Fill it with suitable water-soluble carbohydrates, e.g. mineral salts or maltodextrins, which can be found in the bike corner of our hotel.

5) Are the chain, gearbox and hubs lubricated? Suitable products are available in the bike corner of our hotel.

6) A puncture could ruin your outing. Make sure to take an inner tube replacement kit (tools, inner tube and pocket pump). Our bike hotel can lend you one.

7) Do you have the telephone number and address of our bike hotel? If you get lost, call us at +39 0424 577407 for assistance.

8) If you’re planning a long ride, dried or candied fruit are excellent sources of energy.

9) Cycle along and enjoy the scenery. Don’t fret about hourly averages or distances covered: cycling is considered an excellent anti-stress therapy, so treat it as such.

10) If you are with a group, cycle in single file on busy roads. Even cyclists must respect the Highway Code.

+1) Always choose a true “BIKE HOTEL”.
