The Trento Bike Pages collect bicycle tour reports, mainly for road bikes, but also mountainbikes, as well as general bicycle touring and travel information, and bicycle club and organization listings. If you plan a bicycle tour, you'll find plenty of tour reports of people who have been there before. The Trento Bike pages got started in 1995 by Andreas Caranti, and have grown from a mailing list for the Italian Trento area to cover all of Europe, and now also Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Australia. The Trento Bike Pages got a new maintainer in 2005. They are kept alive by people submitting tour reports, so please tell us about your own tours! Spread the word.
The Trento Bike Pages contain 1480 reports, organized:
| By country: | Lists most countries of the world, each linking to pages with tours and information in and about that country. Tours that go through multiple countries appear on all corresponding country pages. Tours are sorted by submission date, newest first. |
| By author: | A list of all the authors who have submitted reports to the Trento Bike Pages. |
| By date: | A list of all recent reports (added since January 2005), latest first. |
| Tips: | General bicycling information: bicycle maintenance, forum sites, packing lists, etc. |
Feel free to link to the Trento Bike Pages. Be aware that the
report directories are automatically generated, and URLs may shift.

| 19 January 2010 | Added a rating feedback panel to each report. If you liked a report and would like to recommend it, please give it a high rating! Currently your votes are only recorded, but when there are enough votes to become significant, highly rated reports will move up in the list. I use my home server to record the IP address, date, and rating of each vote; this lets my script find duplicates. None of this information will be used for any other purpose, or be given to anyone. |

| 8 December 2009 | I am finally back home after ten weeks in Asia. All the missing pictures are now rescaled and installed. Back to business as usual! Thanks for everyone's patience. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3 November 2009 | New reports may be a little slow showing up on Trento Bike recently because I am currently traveling. In particular, picture URLs that do not point to pictures, or point to pictures that are too large, won't be listed. When I return sometime in December, I'll download, resize, and re-host all the missing pictures as usual. Greetings from Indonesia! |
| Istanbul to ... Cape Town
tour started February 2010, submitted 7 March 2010 Asia, Africa: Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, SouthAfrica
To seek adventure and escape from the mundane we left New Zealand to travel overland from India to Cape Town in August 09. Whilst in Iran we met two crazy Frenchmen cycling from Beijing to Paris. It took little encouragement to be convinced of the benefits of travelling by the most efficient means yet to be invented. The humble bicycle. Whilst we have little experience of bicycles or bicycle touring, we are excited by the possibility of travelling slowly, village to village, rather than the tedious bus rides from city to city. We will head south from Istanbul, with no timeframe and no destination. (we head home when the money runs out) Just a crazy desire to be free and experience the wonders of this beautiful world. |

| Il Reno dalle sorgenti a Basilea (the Rhin from the source to Basel)
tour started August 2008, submitted 18 February 2010 language: it
Il Reno, fiume europeo per eccellenza, via d'acqua e di commercio, fonte di sostentamento e di ricchezza delle genti che da sempre si sono inseduate lungo le sue rive; oltre 1'300 chilometri molti dei quali sono diventati confini naturali degli stati che attraversa, dalla Svizzera all'Olanda passando per Francia e Germania. Il Reno č uno dei simboli dell'Europa, le sue rive uno dei tracciati piú frequentati dai cicloviaggiatori. Questa č la prima tappa di un viaggio che intende percorrerlo tutto, dalle sue sorgenti nel cuore delle Alpi fino alla foce nel mare del nord, dai paesaggi naturali quasi incontaminati a una fra le aree industriali piú vaste del continente. Lungo il cammino non mancherā l'occasione di visitare alcune cittā, alla scoperta della storia, dell'arte e della cultura d'Occidente. La prima tappa del viaggio lungo il corso del Reno ha inizio nelle Alpi, nel cantone dei Grigioni e piú precisamente sul passo dellOberalp dove si trova una delle sorgenti del fiume, quella del Reno anteriore (Vorderrhein); laltra sorgente, quella del Reno posteriore (Hinterrhein) si trova nei pressi del passo del San Bernardino. Il fiume termina la prima parte della sua corsa nel lago di Costanza (Bodensee) a Fussach, in Germania, per poi formarsi di nuovo a Stein am Rhein (Svizzera). |

| Svizzera centrale: da Berna a Lucerna (from Bern to Luzern)
tour started July 2008, submitted 18 February 2010 language: it
La regione che si trova subito a nord delle Alpi svizzere č ricca di laghi, grandi e piccoli. Agli estremi si trovano i due bacini piú grandi, il lago Lemano a sudovest e il lago di Costanza (Bodensee) a nordest, che segnano anche i confini naturali del vasto altipiano e della stessa Confederazione, dal cantone di Ginevra a San Gallo. Il percorso che attraversa la Svizzera centrale si snoda fra questi estremi restando ai margini del grande altopiano, e tocca buona parte dei laghi posti alle pendici della catena alpina, all'incirca fra Thun e Walenstadt, attraversando anche alcuni centri maggiori come Berna, Thun, Lucerna, Zugo, Zurigo, Rapperswil: siamo nel cuore della Svizzera, dove si trovano i cosiddetti cantoni primitivi. Finché si resta sulle sponde dei laghi il percorso non presenta particolari difficoltā, anzi č spesso pianeggiante; d'altra parte siamo ancora in un territorio segnato dalle Alpi, quindi capita che ci si trovi a dover superare qualche dislivello o passo alpino (č il caso del Brünig fra Meiringen e Sachseln). Ho suddiviso il tracciato in due parti: la prima da Berna a Lucerna (circa 160 chilometri da percorrere in due giorni, con sosta a Meiringen), la seconda da Lucerna a Rapperswil (100 km , percorso di una giornata). Questo č il resoconto della prima tappa. |

| Alpine bicycletour from a col onto an other col - 7th year / part
tour started July 2009, submitted 17 February 2010 In the summer of 2009 I cycled in the Alps again. I organized my tour around 3 milestones: I registered for participating in the 2nd hardest well known bicycle-marathon of Europe, the traditional and famous La Marmotte (174 kms + 4900m heightdiff. with the Col du Glandon, Col du Galibier and at last Alpe d’Huez.). The other event was the international BIG meeting in South Bayern (Germany) with other bicycletourers and at last a test tour along the route of the Ötztaler radmarathon (228 km + 5200 m heightdiff.). A participation on that event in the following year became one of my dreams in my life. Beside these I visited another nice and memorable climbs above 2000m, in Switzerland (Mattmarksee, Lac Moiry, Barrage Grand Dixence, Alpe Galm, Tatschalp, Oberaarsee besides snowwalls and the wonderful Männlichen, etc) and in France (Col de la Colombiere, Val Thorens, Col de l'Iseran, etc.) the country of the Tour de France. I had successful days on the La Marmotte and the Ötztaler radmarathon testtour. Totally I cycled 2335 kms + 47060 m heightdifference on 18-19 whole days. |
