We will take you on exciting bike tours between Lake Como and Lake Lugano, exploring the charming ancient world, admiring endless beauty, immersing ourselves in pristine nature, and delighting in high-quality culinary delights.
About us
BIKE&FUN Comolake is born from the vision of sharing our extraordinary territory in an authentic way, offering experiences that tell its beauty and allow you to fully appreciate it. We travel to secret, almost magical places that reveal breathtaking landscapes, offer unforgettable experiences, and enhance our culinary delights.
Exploring a territory, savoring it, and discovering it by 'pedaling', immersing oneself in its peculiarities, all this is possible from the saddle of a bicycle, following a network of routes specially designed to be traveled at one's own pace. One stops to savor culinary delights, taste wines, and breathe in the art, history, and culture that characterize this corner of Italy.
The territory
The Regina Road, which winds along the shores from Lake Como to Lake Ceresio, offers spectacular views considered among the most beautiful in the world, with historic villas and majestic mountains, connecting Como, Tremezzina, and Valsolda to the border with Switzerland.
This extraordinary region is characterized by numerous picturesque villages, each with a unique history and traditions. The narrow streets and stories intertwining with each other, perfect for exploring by bike, reveal magical and unique corners at every turn.
Churches, villas, and gardens embellish Lake Como, while mule tracks, refuges, mountain huts, and woods are the peculiarities of Lake Lugano.
Relax and well-being
Riding a bicycle slows down the world, almost comes to a stop... Thoughts vanish, worries dissolve. Watching the landscape calmly pass by under your eyes and wheels. The sun, the wind, even the rain become sources of pleasure; meeting new people, feeding on images. Without the need to plan, focusing on the journey, on discovery. The mind frees itself, rediscovering a lost balance, typical of childhood innocence. Like a child, laughing heartily, having fun with friends on a bike. This state of freedom extends for a simple ride or an entire adventure, providing relaxation and well-being in a welcoming land.

THE NINE RULES OF SUSTAINABLE MOUNTAIN BIKING
Respect nature
If you love mountain biking, you also love nature and outdoor life. Therefore, respect the plants, flowers, and do not disturb the wild animals.
Take home any waste you produce such as inner tubes, food wrappers, and/or supplements.
A true biker also picks up the waste that others, less educated, have abandoned when necessary.
Plan your outings
Learn to get to know the area where you are about to ride early, evaluate it based on your skills and driving abilities, and plan your outing accordingly.
Strive to be self-sufficient, check and maintain your equipment in good condition, always carry everything you need to independently handle weather changes or mechanical failures.
Don't forget to bring the right amount of water and food with you, and most importantly, check the battery of your cell phone and e-bike before leaving.
It is always a good idea to inform family or friends about the type of itinerary we will be following, giving an estimated return time.
Stay on the trail
One of the functions of trails is to concentrate the impact of those passing through a forest or a sparsely anthropized area on a specific point, in order to reduce erosion and control its impact on the surrounding environment.
Hiking on trails is the most responsible and ethical way to practice mountain biking: do not cut the corners!
Avoid trails in case of mud
Walking on a muddy trail means further damaging it by digging it up and creating channels that will be filled by the next rains, further worsening its conditions.
The result? Your favorite trail will be ruined and impassable for a long time, and many hours of work (often done by volunteers) will be needed to restore it... if there is someone to do it!
When these conditions are present, consider leaving when the ground is still frozen (in winter) or moving to another slope, perhaps with more draining terrain or better sun exposure.
Do not alter the path
Do not carry out unauthorized work and do not damage existing structures such as steps, signage, etc.
If you encounter any issues such as landslides or fallen trees, report them to the relevant authorities or to the associations/groups that take care of maintaining the trails in the area so that they can intervene. You are also authorized to perform simple cleaning and removal actions of any branches or rocks that have accidentally fallen on the path, actions that are useful for both your safety and that of others.
Respect others
Respect those who walk or ride on the trails and remember that you must always give them priority.
Let others get off before you get on and moderate your speed when traveling on crowded paths, out of respect for other users and also for greater safety, yours and others'. Do the same when using paths and roads that pass through groups of houses; respect those who live near the paths.
During the weekend, try planning outings in less crowded areas, especially where there are many families.
Use common sense and put yourself in others' shoes; do you like it when a car overtakes you at full speed, making your hair stand on end?
Drive with caution
Adapt your speed according to the crowding, type, and conditions of the trail, as well as the presence of other users and your technical abilities, to avoid endangering yourself and others.
The speed and riding style that can be maintained in a bike park with trails dedicated to mountain bikes is not sustainable on shared trails.
Be aware of your limits, ride in a way that you always have control of the bicycle and wear appropriate safety and protection devices such as helmet, gloves, goggles, and knee pads.
Give way correctly
Make sure that other trail users know you are about to pass them by giving a friendly greeting or using a bell. When visibility is poor, always assume there may be someone behind a curve or obstacle.
On shared paths, cyclists must give way to all non-motorized users. On two-way paths, cyclists descending must give way to those ascending.
Overtake with respect
Ensure that every overtaking occurs in the safest and kindest way possible, whether you are overtaking another cyclist or a pedestrian.
