Cycling isn't just a passion or a way to stay fit , it 's also an excellent way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and get around in an eco-friendly and environmentally friendly way : this is why many cities around the world are increasingly launching cycle-friendly initiatives . However, there are still not many routes for getting from city to city by bicycle, although there are some positive examples , such as the German and South Korean ones.

In Italy one of the most successful projects interesting and the Adriatic cycle path: a series of traced, with deviations, which leads from Trieste up to Puglia. This cycle touring itinerary passes through seven italian regions and it is about long 1300 kilometers, reaching up to Santa Maria di Leuca, the southernmost point of the Puglia. Many features of this bike lane they pass through secondary roads, but the traits that accompany the Adriatic State Road; and in the Abruzzo stretch of the cycle path there are several kilometres of real bicycle path.

There is no real "official" route because there are several possible deviations within the cycle path , but generally the route always remains close to the sea , and therefore the route is almost always flat.

Starting from Trieste the cycle path crosses the hills up to Monfalcone, flows into the Veneto-Friuli plain and then, after about 120 kilometers, in Venetian lagoon. Next, once you enter in Emilia Romagna you travel along a long stretch that runs along the sea, dotted with lidi, which crosses the Brands, the Abruzzo and Molise until you get in Puglia. From year to year the route of the cycle path is more and more completing by the work of the administrations municipal, provincial e regional crossed, to allow you to pedal in complete safety and admire the beauty of Adriatic coast.
