These guys hooked me up with a great bike, dropped it at my hotel and picked it up. They even suggested some routes for me to cover and sent me the map. A big thanks from this happy rider! Highly recommeded!

Tommaso and Andrea, thank you so much for making our visit to Milan so memorable. While our travel…read moreschedule did not allow to go riding, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience visiting several of the Italian handmade bicycle manufacturers around the Milan area which was my main goal for this trip. As an admirer of Italian handmade bicycles, it was a very special experience visiting Colnago, Masi and Cinelli facilities. And how can I forget my visit to Passoni for a bike fit and ordering my dream bicycle. I enjoyed your cycling stories and you sharing your vast knowledge and passion of Italian and international pro cycling. We are also very thankful for your flexibility and willingness to fulfill our requests during the tour making our visit so much more enjoyable. I am already looking forward to my next trip to Europe and Milan will certainly be one of my stops, this time, to go riding around Lake Como and Ghisallo.

I own a Pedego e-bike that I ride in a mountainous area, so I assumed I could easily do this tour…read more The e-bike they provided for me had no power assist going up hill. 1. Make sure you understand your guide before taking the tour. If your guide can not properly show you how to use the e-bike and someone else has to interpret, get a new guide. 2. There are no bike lanes and your tour is on a busy narrow highway full of cars and trucks. It can be very unsafe. I was forced into a guard rail by a large truck. Our guide was so far up the hill, that she did not see this. When she saw me stopped she offered me her bike, because she said her bike was better. Our guide had a better bike than me!!!!!!!???? 3 The bikes do not have rear view mirrors, so you do not see the trucks until they are upon you. 4. The first part of our trip was 4 miles uphill with no reprieve. At our first stop we asked our guide why she lied to us about the uphill climb. She originally told us things would level off after the first curve. Her answer to us was that she had to lie to us, because if she told us the truth we wouldn't take the tour. 5. After 4 miles straight up a hill, we now had to have our brakes on for another 4 miles down. All of a sudden our guide stopped. She used no hand signals to warn us. Because my bike was somewhat too big for me and I am going downhill, I fell before I could stop. Sadly it resulted in 2 broke ribs and a broken thumb. It could have been averted if our guide used hand signals or told us about the route beforehand. I am still not sure why we stopped, as there were no stop signs. 6. After falling and not enjoying having to share the road with heavy traffic, we told the guide we were quitting. By the way, the tour guide did have a first aid kit that had supplies to help with the scraps from falling. 7. The company van picked us up and took us back to the e-bike office. We were met with the owner who NEVER asked me how I was. She had to know what happened, beside I had bandages on me. We paid the full price for this tour this very dangerous disappointing tour.

I also hired a bike for about three days so I could do some amazing rides in the area including the Ghisallo. You can hire fantastic bikes for a good price. Even the 'mid rage' are brand new Bianchi's equipped with Di2. They make sure you are all fitted and set up before you ride off. They have every thing you need at the shop also, clothing, gels, drinks etc. You can do a bunch of ride sections you will see in the Tour de Lombardy and Tour de Italia in the area. Great group of people and I was so lucky this place is there!

Surprised to see so many bad reviews here. I used BikeMi both days I've been in Milan, including…read morefor 32 miles today, for a flat rate of 5 1/2 euros per day (plus a 1/2 euro penalty each day, which I'm not sure what for, but that's still only 6 euros). That's basically 19 US cents per mile for today's ride...almost as cheap as walking. Didn't really have any problems with the bikes, other than the gear shifter sometimes being delayed when shifting into a lower gear. When you approach the bike rack and unlock a bike with the app, it automatically picks a bike for you. If for some reason you don't want that bike - for instance, a couple it assigned me had old gear shifters so you couldn't read what gear it was in - you just put that bike back, wait for it to lock, and then follow the same process to unlock another bike. The bike I had today seemed to hold up great, and was lighter than the Citi Bikes we have in NY.

#85-2016: I know, a…read morebicycle lover like me should assign (hands down) a full 5-star review to such a great service as this but follow me in my train of thoughts and you will understand (and most of all agree with) my 2 stars final score. First off, http://www.atm.it/en/ViaggiaConNoi/Bici/Pages/BikeMi.aspx gives you an idea of what the service is and what it has to offer: the concept is GENIUS!! Need to get from point A to point B without feeling like you wanna hit someone due to crazy traffic? Go to a pick-up point (you can check how many bikes are available and which location is nearest to you with this link https://wap.bikemi.com/en/stations-map.aspx), grab your bike, ride it and arrive to your destination and drop your bike? NOPE.. unless you drop it off at an BIKEME point it will still count against your minutes of use!! So, unlike the car sharing concept you are STILL obliged to find a spot to drop off the bike and go on with your life. Did I mention you need to get a subscription to use this "fantastic" mean of transportation? It gives quite a few options but the subscription grants you privileges to use the bikes NOT a set amount of minutes you can ride per (let's say) a day exceeding 30 minutes. You pay for the amount of time you use the bike and you can't keep the bike overnight, you pay for the time but you can't exceed a set amount of hours per day usage, you pay to get a service and then you pay the usage. "But I can then pick up a bike anywhere I want in the city, ride it for X amount of time and drop it of anywhere I want without worrying it being stolen". And that is where you are wrong my friends. .. So, now you have subscribed to the service and you are convinced that you will find a bikeme station within, say, 1-2 blocks from where you live... YA right... UNLESS you live within the city center, there will be no chance in hell to find a station which is comfortably within walking distance from you. In order to do the right thing (which I already do with my own bike at the risk of having it stolen) I have to hop on a metro or bus and THEN get to (say) piazza Piemonte to grab a bike and do my rounds? The way I look at it is, should you need to run errands during your working hours (related to your job obviously) and you are in luck with stations being close to both point A and B, then this is the thing for you (feel free to consult ahead of time the location of the bikeme points https://wap.bikemi.com/en/stations-map.aspx) Otherwise, just run the risk of getting your bike stolen. PS: yes, I DID try to like this service, I was even gifted the subscription and I even tried it a total of 3 times... I really wanted to love it.. but like many other things, unless it is love at first sight (in this case at first ride), it isn't meant to be.
