Ciclovia dei Borboni

Following the success of the publication in Italian and English of the road book of the Adriatic Cycle Route in the Apulia Region, itinerary No. 6 in the Bicitalia network, the Region is now putting into circulation a second publication, also requested by Italian and foreign cyclists: the road book of the whole Bourbon Cycle Route, Bari to Naples, going through the Basilicata, which at Bitetto (Bari) proposes a side trip to Matera, in homage to the City of the Sassi, the European Capital of Culture in 2019.
The itinerary described, representing the Bicitalia route No.10, shows the best route in existence today for reaching the capital of the Campania region as well as Matera starting from Bari, and for discovering from the height of the bicycle seat some roads as secondary as possible, and the landscapes typical of the Murgia and the southern Apennines.
It should be kept in mind that the project for the Bicitalia cycle network was set up following the CIPE (Interministerial Committee for Economic Planning) resolution No. 1 of 2001 concerning the “General Plan for Transportation and Logistics”, which committed the then Ministry of Transportation to adopt a feasibility study for a national network of cycling routes.

The App also allows you to record tracks with the screen off so that in this mode, and only in this recording, the extended use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Show More
