Milano has always been in love with the bicycle. This is the city where the Giro d'Italia was born and many speed records were broken at the Vigorelli Velodrome. Traces of bicycle's history can be found in many innovative bike brands and professionals in the city and its environs. Great and gravel bike paths from the banks of the Navigli canals, take you as far as the majestic Villa Reale of Monza, and Lodi, with its medieval abbeys.
