Who’s behind CyclingHero?
We are a small team of passionate cyclists: locals, expats, and one very important sausage dog.
Bob (the Canadian🇨🇦) and Caterina (the Trevigiana🍾) are your hosts in the Veneto and beyond. Their backyard is the Prosecco Hills and the Dolomites, and yes, Puppers the dachshund counts as a full team member. 🐾
Andrea is based in Bologna, works as a professional cycling coach 🚵🏻♂️, and trains everywhere between the Romagna coast and the Apennines. If there’s a climb worth knowing in Emilia-Romagna, he’s already ridden it twice this week.
Ermanno & Lorella 🚵🏻♂️🚵🏻♀️ left Vancouver behind to come back to their beloved Piedmont. Based in Cuneo, they ride from the Langhe vineyards all the way up to the Alps, and they know every producer, every road, and every shortcut along the way.
And then there’s Mark 🚵🏻♂️, our tech co-founder, coding from Berlin but always present through the CyclingHero companion app he built, so the team always knows where you are, and you always know where to find us.
Real cyclists. Real locals. Real passion. That’s just how we’re built. 🧡
