We had great time on via appia and after that we used cyclo road to circo maximo around caracal baths.
It was very nice to be able to cycle along the ancient Appian Way for a few kilometers outside Rome. No cars or motorbikes to disturb the rural peace, just the occasional jogger or dog walker. Ruins of ancient villas, forts or shrines among the shady pine trees. It was easy to imagine what a variety of scenes this ancient highway has witnessed over the last 2300 years: merchants and travellers on foot or horseback, soldiers, pilgrims, government emissaries, ox-drawn carts, herds of cattle and goats being driven to market. The road surface can be rough at times, and you may need to ride through large shallow puddles, but who can complain when the worst stretches of deeply rutted flagstones may have been laid down by Roman engineers in 312 BC?
The TickNock trails are top notch. I love every single one (didn't get to do Greg's Granite - ABSOLUTELY LOVED Highline, Skyline & Tomahawk)
The best way to do the Via Appia is in bycicle hands down. It is a moderate adventure if you wish to get to the end of the map. Take a lot of water with you, something to eat too. Enjoy your meal sitting down on a rock, or grass. Also, in some parts there are cars and motos passing by, just be aware. But, this was one of the highlights of Rome for me.
Worked perfectly for us, great people and really clear on where to go etc. bikes good and well maintained.
Great service! The bike was excellent — in perfect condition and worked 100% for my 12-year-old daughter’s first time MTBing. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole experience was brilliant. We’ll definitely be back again! 🚴♀️
This was one of my favourite activities on our trip to Rome! We hired mountain bikes all day, and spent about 4 hours going along the trail and back again. Some of the route is very bumpy and so we had to bike along the sides but this made for a really fun cycle! Lots to see along the route and we even stopped to sit on the grass to have a picnic with wine. Would recommend. Route there and back was about 15-16km.
Amazing MTB park with lots of downhill tracks to choose from. The climb is with it. Rental bikes and services are amazing.
Easy to book the bike online. Really clear the different offerings and prices. Easily picked up from the really friendly and helpful staff. Quick run through of the bike and some information about the trails. The bike I hired was in super condition and well maintained which made the experience so much more enjoyable. Lovely tea and cake at the end.
First time here, but Definitely 5*, And Definitely I will be back, Staff are awesome and super friendly. Brilliant atmosphere and trails are crazy. I rented a bike (Trek fuel ex) it was perfect and in good condition. I'm 178cm, L size bike. Thank you guys! 🍻
