My daughter married an Italian in 2004 and lives here with her husband and two children. While making twice-annual visits here, I spent most of my time road cycling during the day. I love cycling here and am guiding people to share the passion I have for cycling and the incredible road cycling here. The terrain around Florence is quite hilly, so I have no set itinerary for a day. I customize every ride to meet the fitness level and desires of the clients in terms of time available and what they would like to see. My only priority for a day of riding with clients is to give them one of the best days they have ever had riding a bike.There are literally hundreds of options for roads to ride, so we can make a day work for anyone from a former pro cyclist to honeymooners in flip flops. I have experience taking both out on rides.  I would love to share a day or more riding with you. I am a 67-year-old American, mostly retired here in Florence. I am a licensed Architect in the US, so I have some knowledge and appreciation of the incredible architecture here. My son-in-law's family has been in Florence for over 500 years, so I have some contacts that can prove useful. My wife and I moved here mostly to be with our grandchildren as they grow up, but guiding cycling is a passion and a necessity to keep us happy here. Hope to see you here soon.
