Even in 2026, mate ice tea is still not a thing in Italy even in big supermarkets. I wonder why that is. You can find all manner of energy drinks but nothing with mate… #nerdiontour #bikepacking #biketouring

Hotel receptionist was intrigued by my pannier bags and almost couldn’t believe it when i told him they were waterproof, already 10 years old and I had even had an accident with them. I’ll take my sponsorship money now, big german brand specialised in such products. :-P #biketouring #bikepacking #nerdiontour

Day 2: Imola - Ravenna
↔️ 53.9 km ↗️ 15m
Today I reached the Adriatic coast. Luckily it only started raining after I arrived in Ravenna. It made for a wet exploration of the city, but some nice moody pictures and even a rainbow when it started clearing up!

Here's a question to those with detailed knowledge about traffic rules in Italy: As a bicyclist am I allowed to cycle here?
In Switzerland, the red circle is a "general driving prohibition". It means you cannot drive, on any vehicle. The only thing allowed here is walking (ignoring the qualifiers below the sign).
My theory is that generally, this is different in Italy, as in, this sign does not apply to cyclists. Or at least it isn't enforced at all?

More rain ahead today. Let’s see if i manage to dodge it! #nerdiontour #bikepacking #biketouring

I also came across two obstacles today:
The first one is a river crossing with a very sandy overgrown bank. Practically impossible to traverse. Apparently this is part of a mountain bike route and a bicycle route on OSM. I can't imagine this being fun to traverse even by mountain bike. So I edited OSM to make this bit impassable.The second one is a blocked road. I squeezed past the gate and only one of the three workers looked at me irritatedly...

Day 1: Bologna - Imola
↔️ 55.3 km ↗️ 24m
Easy first leg of the trip. Separated bicycle lanes for the first 10km or so leaving Bologna, cool! Too narrow at times and not in the best shape maintenance-wise, but seems to be used by a lot of cyclists of all kinds!
Imola seems to be quite a sleepy unspectacular town, though that could also have to do with the thunderstorms of today. Makes me wonder what it would be like on a Formula 1 race weekend. -
