Milan<\/strong>\u00a0is not purely still a city suitable for\u00a0bicycles<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Often it is necessary to know the less crowded roads or the less impassable ones to reach a destination.\u00a0You can improvise surfers doing zig-zag between the Milan’s streets and hope to reach their destination.\u00a0The problem is that Milan is not thought of as a “ray” city but a village, and therefore it is not said that all roads lead in the direction you want to go, even if they are in front of you.
\nIts many parks, its cycle paths and the fact that there are almost no hills make it a bike-friendly city.<\/p>\n

The problem with Bikemi is that it is not possible to hold the bike with you for more than 2 hours.\u00a0<\/strong>It looks like a very long time frame, but if you happen to stop and get an ice cream the time can pass very quickly.\u00a0Here are the itineraries and a map to help you choose the best route.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Visit the center of Milan on your bike<\/h2>\n

Recently, near the Porta Venezia subway station, the Milan hall has renewed the cycle path that runs through\u00a0\u00a0Corso Buenos Aires<\/strong>\u00a0: now you can reach San Babila by bike without risking your life.
\nStart your journey from Porta Venezia, but deviate just a little from your straight path to stroll through the Giardini di Porta Venezia.
\nTake via Palestro and reach\u00a0\u00a0Piazza San Babila<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Be careful not to look away from the road, even if the facades of beautiful and elegant buildings will make you want to do it.<\/p>\n

Once you arrive in Piazza San Babila, you will only have one thing to pay attention to: people.\u00a0Forget cars and motorcycles.\u00a0The real dangers are the men and women who trot with their necks folded on their smartphones and who risk falling on you occasionally.<\/p>\n

Soon you will see the Duomo in front of you.\u00a0Take a moment to relax and then continue on Via Mercanti.\u00a0This will take you directly to Piazza Cordusio and, therefore, through Via Dante, you will arrive at Castello Sforzesco.
\nGo past the entrance and, in the blink of an eye, you will be in the Sempione Park.\u00a0The most famous park in Milan, inaugurated in 1893 and counting more than 386,000 square meters is the ideal place for a ride in the countryside.\u00a0You will also pass by the Milan Triennale: peek into the courtyard to see its contemporary art installations standing on the grass.<\/p>\n

Your route to the center of Milan ends with the spectacular view of the Arco della Pace.\u00a0Do not forget that Piazza Sempione is full of bars that offer rich and tasty aperitifs: go ahead … you deserve it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The hidden ship: the Martesana<\/h2>\n

If you are tired of the skyscrapers and the subway, and you want to get away from the city and enjoy a bucolic ride, you have to go to Via Melchiorre Gioia.\u00a0Yes, your “green itinerary” starts from one of the busiest spots in the city: in fact, Via Tirano opens up to the\u00a0\u00a0Naviglio della Martesana<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The Martesana is also called small (small) canal to differentiate it from the large one south of Milan.\u00a0It was Francesco Sforza, together with Leonardo da Vinci, who began work to build it.\u00a0Navigable and wide from 9 to 18 meters, the Martesana follows a path away from the city streets, surrounded by flower meadows, parks and colorful houses that overlook it.<\/p>\n

Follow her and make a few stops here and there, like at the Parco della Martesana.
\nSince 2009, the bike path has been expanded and now, if you feel fit enough, you can continue to ride up to Trezzo, a small and pretty town not far from Milan.<\/p>\n

Useful information<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you need a map of the stations where you can leave your bike? You can use the official app or the more convenient app called BikeMi Map<\/p>\n

Here is some information you will find useful when you drive your bike:<\/p>\n

If you do not own a bike, you can hire one thanks to the\u00a0BikeMi<\/strong>\u00a0service\u00a0\u00a0, run by the town hall.\u00a0Using it is simple.\u00a0You have to choose the type of subscription (daily-weekly or annual).\u00a0Once you have received the text message to unlock the bike, go to one of the BikeMi stations, enter the code, choose between a normal and an electric bike and … start moving!<\/p>\n

The real dangers of Milan are asphalt roads and trams.\u00a0Cycling on the paved streets of Milan without stumbling is not easy;\u00a0and you must also make sure that the wheels do not end up on the tram tracks, otherwise you will lose control of your bike!<\/p>\n

Have a lock and chain with you all the time or you will not find your bike.
\nTake a look at the app or the\u00a0Bike District Milano<\/strong>\u00a0website, which shows you the best routes to reach a destination by bike.<\/p>\n
