I have always hoped to one day be able to cycle from England to my hometown in the Italian Alps. I was finally able to do it and complete a ride that loosely followed Eurovelo 15 down the Rhine before a diversion into Bavaria, Austria and finally Italy. All in all 2500km of easy and flat terrain and cycleways for the most part of the trip.

Dolomites Bikepacking on a Brompton
I took my Brompton for a spin around one of the best loops the world has to offer. The scenery of the Italian Dolomites is so stunning that you are likely to forget how tough is the climbing. Leaving from the mountain village of Canazei I did a clockwise loop around the Giro dei Passi climbing for mountain passes that are in the history of Italian cycling. Passo Sella, Passo Gardena, Passo Campolongo and the most famous of them all, Passo Pordoi.

North of England on a Brompton (italian)
Il progetto di viaggio del 2018 prevedeva uso di biciclette pieghevoli che solitamente utilizziamo per andare al lavoro tutti i giorni o girare in città . Mi riferisco alla a bici Brompton si tratta di una city bike pieghevole e trasportabile, adatta per il trasporto urbano e per l’uso cittadino. Esistono vari modelli, nel nostro caso si tratta di una 3 velocità manubrio ad H senza portapacchi peso della bicicletta 11,35 kg .
Perchè fare una scelta del genere ? Motivi molti il primo riguarda la trasportabilità della bicicletta in aereo, sicuramente più semplice delle mountain bike, quest’ultime dovevano essere smontate totalmente vs la Brompton che va semplicemente piegata . Secondo riguarda sempre la trasportabilità in treno, questa tipologia di bicicletta non prevede il pagamento del biglietto e non serve prenotare il posto. Ultimo motivo perché no? Spirito di avventura e sperimentare un modo diverso di viaggiare.
Unico problema e che le biciclette in nostro possesso hanno solo 3 marce, quindi il percorso non poteva prevedere troppe salite, le tappe non al di sopra, sulla carta di 60/70 km, infine il bagaglio non deve superare i 9 kg.
