Updates:
Here an interesting discussion about Biking in Apulia...
My husband and I are planning a self guided bike tour of Puglia. I am a bit nervous about biking on the roads, worried about traffic. Could I have some feedback on traffic and "crazy" drivers in Puglia on the paved side roads? Anyone have experience with HikBik, I believe it is a German company? Any experiences biking in this southern part of Italy that you would want to share?
For those of You interested in Sardinia, here another good question on top attractions to visit...
The beauty of the island's nature is most probably appreciated on foot or from a bicycle seat. Those who love trekking or bike riding will find unforgettable itineraries in Sardinia. The mountains are not particularly high but on the other hand, they are still uncontaminated. No roads are indicated and therefore it is better to make use of local associations or co-operatives that organise excursions suitable for both novices as well as experts.
