ABOUT
US
"Bike99" is an association born in 2007 out of a group of
professional bike instructors and their love for biking and nature.
Our location is in Abruzzo - L'Aquila.
OUR MISSION
We aim at the improvement of tourism and sport underlining the
social and environmental aspects lying beneath it. Our main
objective is to carry out a strategic plan focused on learning,
training, and fostering a "Culture of Cycling". In this view, riding
a mountain bike is not an end in itself, but a means of integration
between user and territory, between biker and environment.
OUR MEANS
We
have selected a network of cycle tracks which supports our idea of a
new kind of "sustainable cycling" for tourism as well as for sport.
This is the reason why Bike99 promotes cycling tours within Abruzzo
in general, and L'Aquila in particular, where routes are unique and
stretch through WWF natural oasis and national parks and reserves:
"Parco del Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga", "Parco della Maiella",
"Parco regionale del Sirente Velino", and "Parco Nazionale
d'Abruzzo".
OUR TOURS
The cycling tours are organized and guided by professional
instructors and present different levels of difficulty according to
the skill of
the excursionists. We offer recreational routes along with adventure
ones; few hours tours along with bike trekking lasting more than one
day. The tours are organized both for road bikes as well as for
mountain bikes. Some
example.
OUR ACTIVITIES
- educational routes meant for families and groups of children in
order to improve an awareness of territory and environment
experiencing the interaction with local heritage both artistic and
naturalistic (museums, botanical gardens, ancient mills and castles,
natural oasis and reserves, etc.).
- cooperation with Tour Operators to support groups of tourists
coming from abroad guiding them to get familiar with our
naturalistic beauties, our traditions, gastronomical specialities,
and culture.
- specific experiences for team building, where the activities can
be personalized according to your preferences: horse trekking, bike
trekking, mountain trekking, climbing, skiing.

accommodation: ancient castles, hostels and refuges offering unique
mountain landscapes.
