Writer Alfredo Oriani once claimed, "A bicycle can be well worth a library". Of course any book-lover will take that statement to be ironic, but bicycles are indeed a great tool for knowledge. Even Hemingway would agree: It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.
So let's start pedaling after these thoughts, exploring the ten most beautiful bike trails in Italy. We start in Liguria, from the smooth Levanto-Bonassola-Framura bike/walk trail. Located in the province of La Spezia, inside the wonderful Cinque Terre National Park, it is also known as "Maremonti" and follows the path of an old coastline railway. An easy, 5-kilometer itinerary between bays and coves, lit galleries and panoramic balconies facing the sea.
