How to prepare your bike for L’Eroica 2026 🧐
To participate in L’Eroica, your bike must meet a few key criteria to capture the essence of the vintage cycling experience. Here’s what you need to know:
⚙️ Gear Shifters: The gear levers must be mounted on the down tube or the ends of the handlebars.
🔧 Brake Cables: The brake cables must be external, as per the classic design.
🛠 Pedals: Pedals should have toe clips and straps—no clipless pedals allowed!
👓 Classic Aesthetic: Embrace vintage! Saddles, handlebars, and other components should reflect the spirit of pre-1987 bicycles.
⚠️ Important: If your bike does not meet these standards, unfortunately, you will not be able to take part in the event.
Get your classic bike ready, and let’s ride through history together! 🚵♀️
