Riding on the Riviera Romagnola: what to know
On the Riviera seafront a bike is the easiest way to get between beach, town centre and restaurants without hunting for parking. The route is flat and suits everyone, so a city bike is plenty. Families are well served too: nearly every shop stocks child seats, trailers and kids’ bikes. The season runs from May to September, and July and August weekends are the peak: book ahead.
