Personal touch
Personally, we selected the best regions and areas to discover by bike, considering scenic & quiet roads, history and art, food & wine, and nice lodging.
First of all Tuscany – then our top list is Sardinia, Puglia, Umbria, Piedmont, Mallorca, Sicily.
When we started we have been pioneers offering so well organized self guided itineraries. Now we are expert, we lived the evolution in technology and popularity, we consider ourselves part of Italian Excellence that makes the world dream.
Gravel biking is the new project, we love it and we think is the best way to skip traffic and enjoy scenery.

Simple!
Ciclo is Italian words for cycle and Posse is English word for group.
So the name ‘Cicloposse’ is a fusion of ‘Ciclo’—Italian for bicycle—and ‘Posse,’ evoking the spirit of a united group.

our logo
The FIRST logo, designed by Daniel Zezelj, a renowned comic writer, captured the essence of our vision when it was crafted back in 1994. Here, we proudly display the original artwork, signed by the artist himself, which was promptly embraced by our founder.
After two decades of proudly displaying this emblem, in 2014, we recognized the need for a refresh.
Enter Andrea Pisano, a digital artist whose talent breathed new life into our visual identity.
Tasked with incorporating ‘bike tours’ into our logo to reflect our core mission, Andrea presented us with several compelling options.
Ultimately, we were drawn to the simplicity and elegance of the blue design, which has since become synonymous with our brand
In 2023, as part of our ongoing commitment to evolution, we embarked on a comprehensive graphic revamp of our website.
Spearheaded by the talented visual artist Elisa Cherubini, this initiative saw the introduction of harmonious design elements, including various icons and graphical motifs.
Notably, a standalone graphic derived from our logo takes the form of a welcoming smile, symbolizing the joy of exploration and discovery that defines our tours. Additionally, we introduced a vibrant orange hue, injecting a dynamic energy into our visual identity
