After the success of the first edition, The Social Pedalèda returns on Sunday 26 April 2026, a collective ride that connects Cesena to Cesenatico along the Pisciatello cycle pathA free event, open to all, which confirms itself as one of the most interesting spring events in Romagna for those who love to experience cycling in a simple, inclusive, and sustainable way.
The initiative was born from the experience of Andrea and Michela, known on social media as Bike Like a Couple, who over the years have transformed their digital story into a concrete project in the area. After involving over 200 participants in the first edition, Social Pedalèda returns with the goal of further growth, while maintaining its original spirit: pedaling together, without competition, to discover the area and share a day in the open air.
Along the Pisciatello cycle path
The day's program is designed to encourage the participation of a wide audience, without barriers related to age or physical preparation. The meeting point is set for 9:30 a.m. in Piazza Almerici, in Cesena's historic center, where participants can start the day with a complimentary breakfast. The group ride will begin at 10 a.m., at a relaxed and controlled pace, suitable for all levels.
The path develops for about 20 kilometers and almost entirely follows the Pisciatello cycle path, One of the most interesting itineraries in the area for those seeking a safe experience immersed in nature. It is a flat route, free from altimetric difficulties, which winds along cycle and cycle/pedestrian paths, With short stretches on low-traffic secondary roads, the route perfectly reflects the event's philosophy: accessibility, safety, and enhancing the area.
During the ride, the group will be accompanied by the organizational staff, present both at the front and at the back to ensure unity and safety. The most delicate crossings will be supervised, making the experience suitable even for to those who are approaching an event of this type for the first time or are not used to cycling in a group.
The arrival in Cesenatico
Arrival is expected around 12:00 in Cesenatico, in Piazza Ciceruacchio, where a guarded bike park will be set up. Here the day will continue with a moment of study dedicated to cycle tourism, Through a discussion with local governments, it will be an opportunity to reflect on the increasingly central role of cycling in mobility and tourism development in the region.
Following this, there will be space for conviviality with the possibility of participating in a Special lunch as part of the Azzurro come il Pesce event. A moment designed to continue sharing the experience, with local flavors and an informal atmosphere, in perfect Romagna style.
One of the most interesting aspects of Social Pedalèda is its ability to connect different realities: associations, companies, and industry professionals who collaborate to promote cycling culture. The partners of the second edition include companies linked to the rental sector e-bike, to technical assistance and to the promotion of cycling mobility, together with the local FIAB chapters, which have always been committed to promoting the daily use of bicycles.
T-shirts for the first 150 registrants
Participation is free and open to all types of bicycles, from city bikes to gravel, until to e-bike. For organizational reasons, online registration is recommended, also to access the benefits provided, such as official reserved t-shirt to the first 150 registered.
The Social Pedalèda thus confirms itself as something more than a simple bike ride. It's a growing project, capable of transforming an idea born on social media into a real experience, made of people, territory and sharing. A concrete way to demonstrate how the bicycle can become a central element in the building more sustainable communities, where the pleasure of pedaling combines with discovery and connection.
