Pedalare su una bici gravel in Toscana è una delle migliori esperienze per scoprire le “strade bianche” e i sentieri meno battuti: quiet hills, un off‑road rhythm and a luggage‑light style of travel that suits six days of gravel exploration outward from Pisa.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Strade bianche and silent Tuscan hills

The core draw is riding the region’s famous white gravel roads and lesser‑used trails through the Tuscan hills, where long stretches of quiet and open scenery define the experience.

THE ROUTE

Gravel‑first rides on mixed terrain

Expect mixed surfaces and back‑road riding tailored to gravel bikes—routes that emphasize ‘strade bianche’ and off‑the‑beaten‑path tracks suitable for a 1×11 gravel drivetrain and disc brakes.

THE KIT

Purpose‑built bikes and included tools

Bikes supplied are SRAM or Shimano GRX 1×11 on ALU 6061 frames (approx. 11.0 kg ±5% in M); the rental price includes a lock, repair kit, mini pump and multi‑tool, with a range of paid extras available.

What the day feels like

What six days on a gravel bike feels like

Over six days you ride gravel‑focused routes that prioritize quiet lanes and off‑track sections, using a rental gravel bike built for mixed surfaces; the format is simple—daily outings into the Tuscan countryside with the freedom to request delivery or pickup of the bike if required.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental and riding format suits—and who should think twice.

1
Experienced gravel ridersIdeal: riders comfortable on mixed surfaces who want to spend days exploring unpaved roads on a purpose‑built gravel bike; the bike spec and included repair kit support rugged day riding.
2
Self‑contained bikepackersA good match for light bikepacking or day trips using optional bikepacking bags and panniers available for an extra fee.
3
Visitors without a credit card or IDNot ideal: the operator requires a credit card for a deposit and a passport/ID at rental time, so travelers lacking these cannot complete the rental.
4
Riders who need flexible logisticsSuitable: delivery and pickup can be requested (priced separately) by adding details to booking comments, accommodating those who prefer not to return to a fixed storefront.
