Equipment and Bike Rental

Given the type of terrain (road and dirt) of the course, we advise against using a classic road or city bike with narrow, smooth tires. For your safety, we recommend using a bicycle with wide, slightly treaded tires. Examples include mountain bikes, trekking bikes, or gravel bikes. Both electric and muscle-powered bicycles are allowed. Additionally, remember to bring a helmet on race day, as it is mandatory for participation.

If you think you don't have the right bike or don't have a helmet, don't worry: you can rent them (for a fee) at the link below and they will be waiting for you at the Starting Village in Cremona!

AVAILABILITY COMPLETED

But hurry, the number of rentals available is limited.

Part of the rental bikes are available thanks to the agreement with Mantovabikeexperience

BICYCLES TRANSPORTATION

Do you have a bike to transport to Cremona and back? No problem! Also this year we have provided a bicycle transport service from Milan to Cremona so that you can reach the village in complete tranquility and find your bicycle ready for you on the morning of the race.

The service is available at a cost of €5 per bicycle, subject to availability, and includes storage. To use the service, you need to deliver your bike to the race kit distribution point in Milan (C.S. Giuriati, Via Pascal) on Friday, September 27, from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Bicycles must have a front number plate attached to the handlebars to be transported. The front number plate will be provided with your race kit (you will find it inside the envelope along with the ties needed to attach it to the handlebars).

To also use the transport service from Cremona to Milan, you will need to leave your bike at the dedicated stand at the PolimiRide Village. You will find it back in Milan on Monday, September 30, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

The 75 km race discovering Mantua landscapes

 

The 75 km PolimiRride is suitable for everyone who loves the long rides in nature, with a beautiful route that reaches the banks of the Po. The route is flat but consists of a mix of asphalt and dirt roads, making it quite challenging. It is not recommended for those who are not trained to run on this type of terrain. To participate, it is sufficient to have a medical certificate of fitness for non-competitive sports with resting ECG (check out the Fac Simile attached to the official PolimiRide reculation) or a superior kind of certificate for cycling and it is essential to have a bike suitable for this type of terrain.
