Where you should bike this fall

Solve your midweek blues by exploring your own turf on a late night bike ride. Everything appears grand in night light.

 1. Alba, Italy –

The small town, known for the abundance of truffles and nutella, offers high rolling hills covered in vineyards and cherry trees that hide small villages.

Long winding roads will guide you to beautiful passages, Rodello, the views on even a foggy, rainy day are spectacular and thrilling.

Even the city centre itself, Alba, has much to offer with their charming mix of french and italian architecture.

Mountainous views in the distance, and many festivals taking place this fall.

3. Amsterdam, Netherlands –

Aside from the notorious reasons to visit the city, Amsterdam is our worlds top biking destination spot. Take to the extremely, bike filled streets, or follow the Muiden, or North Amsterdam trails for scenic views of everything from windmills, farms, to the ocean.

4. Paris, France –

As Audrey Hepburn said it, “Paris is always a good idea.” The actress highly recommended visiting Bois de Boulogne when there is a “honest-to-goodness rain,” because damp chestnut trees leave the park’s air sweet.Bundle up, rent a bike and explore the city’s inner districts. I highly recommend venturing the illuminated streets at night, after an evening picnic at the Louvre.

5. Your hometown –

Where ever you are from, do not think that because it is summer you can lock your bike away. Explore your own city, or get in touch with nature by driving outside of town, and letting your front tire guide you down some dirt roads.
