Bikes are eco-friendly, pleasant, cheap and healthy means of transport, and the number of people who use it is increasing although it is never enough. People do not only use bike to move around in the city, at least when weather is not bad, avoiding long and annoying queues and traffic stress, but also to travel. Bicycle touring is getting more and more popular, and the bicycle touring expo, which this year will be held in Levico Terme, Italy, is an evidence of the interest that not only professionals, but also common people have in this sector.
The date to save is 3-4 September 2011, when the Palalevico will be invaded by the world of bikes. The city, in the province of Trento, is well-known for its spa, lake and wonderful landscapes, and will host the event for the first time, as in the past it was held in another city in the province of Trento, Arco. No wonder that an event dedicated to bikes is held in this Italian region: thanks to its wonderful and varied landscapes and good cycling paths it is notably fit to host an event like this.
