PRESENTATION
Following the success of the publication in Italian and English of the road book of the Adriatic Cycle Route in the Apulia Re-gion, itinerary No. 6 in the Bicitalia network, the Region is now putting into circulation a second publication, also requested by Italian and foreign cyclists: the road book of the whole Bourbon Cycle Route, Bari to Naples, going through the Basilicata, whi-ch at Bitetto (Bari) proposes a side trip to Matera, in homage to the City of the Sassi, the European Capital of Culture in 2019.
The itinerary described, representing the Bicitalia route No.10, shows the best route in existence today for reaching the capital of the Campania region as well as Matera starting from Bari, and for discovering from the height of the bicycle seat some roads as secondary as possible, and the landscapes typical of the Murgia and the southern Apennines.
It should be kept in mind that the project for the Bicitalia cycle network was set up following the CIPE (Interministerial Com-mittee for Economic Planning) resolution No. 1 of 2001 concer-ning the “General Plan for Transportation and Logistics”, which committed the then Ministry of Transportation to adopt a feasi-bility study for a national network of cycling routes.
The publication, produced both in Italian and in English, is a new tool required by the Department of Infrastructure and Mo-bility of the Apulia Region, to encourage the use of bicycles as a means of transportation through cities and towns, for in-terconnections between towns and long distance travel and, above all, to promote cycle-tourism which, according to stu-dies in the field, can also result in significant economic bene-fits for Apulia as well as for the other regions, by creating new professionals and new jobs: a real contribution to the “green economy” and the revitalization of peripheral areas, far from the main flow of tourist traffic.
5
Highlighting the Bicitalia routes in the Apulia Region is nothing new. Through the international cooperation project promoted and coordinated by the Regional Department for Transportation with Interreg funds in 2000-2006, the main routes of the so-on-to be formed regional cycle network have already been de-fined, identifying as such the Bicitalia and EuroVelo corridors, the trans-European cycle network, which cross the regional territory. Subsequently, the regional law No. 1/2013 “Interven-tions to promote the development of cycling” embraced those routes by assigning precise tasks to Regions, Provinces and Municipalities for the planning, scheduling and management of cycling and the integration of bicycles and public transporta-tion. Finally, the Implementation Plan 2015-2019 of the Regio-nal Transportation Plan, which identifies infrastructure and poli-cies considered a priority for implementing the objectives of the Regional Administration, has inserted the regional segments of Bicitalia and EuroVelo in a specific section concerning cycling, as guidelines for the cycling network in Apulia.
It is the hope of the Apulia Region that this road-book will also help raise the awareness of local authorities affected by the passage of the Cycle Route of the Bourbons through their terri-tories, ensuring that the same road stretches will be well main-tained and protected against improper use such as dumping waste, and that the affected tourist facilities are equipped with adequate services especially during colder months, to accom-modate cyclists in transit who we hope will be increasingly nu-merous.

With the publication of this road book, another mosaic gusset is added to the Bicitalia network.The Bourbon cycle route is actually the 10th route of the Bicitalia network. It was devised by FIAB and included by the Italian Mi-nistry of the Environment in its eco-development programmes, with the aim of creating a national cycle-route network in Italy similar to that of most European countries. Even though paper tools may be considered outdated in a world dominated by GPS and smart-phones, we still believe that a quality publication can succeed in offering a sound alternative for those who want to tra-vel our country on a bicycle. It is also an alternative for those who want to enjoy Italy following routes that are designed for cyclists, not only for motorised traffic, in line with Bicitalia’s philosophy. This guidebook, however, is backed-up by a web-based system managed by FIAB (www.bicitalia.org).To be honest, the route described in this road book is best su-itable for an experienced cyclist, as you will be riding through areas where the cycling infrastructure is still limited. Nonetheless, we believe that the creation of Bicitalia has to start somewhere: this guidebook aims to be a valuable starting point and to provi-de a different insight into our country, particularly into its South, since the route here described connects Bari and Naples, the two major cities of continental southern Italy.Many distinctive features and attractions make this route a me-morable experience for any cyclist: from the “Murge” route to he-ritage sites of the age of Frederick II (such as “Castel del Monte”); from the Ofanto valley to the unique view of the famous vulcanic cones of Mount Vesuvious and Vulture; also, besides the cities of Bari and Naples, you can visit the interesting towns of Ruvo di Puglia, Altamura, Venosa and Melfi or the famous Matera, the city of the “Sassi”, which, due to its relative proximity, has been included as a possible destination for those cycling from Bari. Our wish is that this guidebook will contribute to the development of this route: we hope that the latter will be provided with a better

cycling infrastructure and its accessibility for cyclists improved with dedicated signposts. We would also welcome the imple-mentation of a rehabilitation plan for abandoned sites such as the railway stretch “Avellino-Rocchetta Sant’Antonio” or several abandoned segments of the “Circumvesuviana”, which could be converted into excellent cycle paths. There are also other areas that, if rehabilitated, could significantly improve the cycling ac-cessibility on this route, such as the area along the Apulian Aque-duct or several segments of the historical SS 7 “Appia” road, as well as numerous secondary roads that can already be used for cycling purposes.

The itinerary presented here represents the best possible route for a cycle tourist who wants to reach Naples from Bari, riding on quiet roads. The route goes along existing minor roads and it can be considered an improvement when looking at the results of a fea-sibility study on the “Bourbon Cycle Path”. This is the route no.10 of the Italian cycling network “Bicitalia”, as identified by the Apulia Department of Transportation within the transnational cooperation project “Cy.ro.n.med.” (Cycle Route Network of the Mediterranean) that was led by the Apulia Region and funded through Interreg IIIB Archimed funds. To sum up, the route starts off in Bari and heads towards Palo del Colle, Bitetto, Ruvo di Puglia, Castel del Monte and Minervino Mur-ge (in Apulia); then it runs through Basilicata, passing by the towns of Montemilone, Venosa, Rapolla and Melfi. The itinerary proceeds through Campania, reaching Naples after a 331 km itinerary throu-gh the towns of S. Andrea di Conza, Teora, Lioni, Montemarano, Atripalda, Avellino and Nola.Ours is an attempt to describe a convenient route from Bari to Naples, which is not too long compared to the regular route and that, at the same time, allows cycle tourists to discover the beauty of the landscapes they travel through, without wandering too off their destination.It is fair to also point out that the present route runs, almost enti-rely, on roads that are open to motorised vehicles. Nonetheless, bearing in mind the principles that have inspired all road-books published by FIAB (Federazione Italiana Amici della Bicicletta), we paid the utmost attention so as to choose the most pleasant roads for biking, that is, roads that are not spoiled by heavy motorised traffic and that are characterised by ridable ascents and interesting landscapes.We deemed more appropriate to reset the cyclo-computer (Zero km) every time we get out of a significant residential area as well as every time we pass a long stretch of road where no relevant resi-dential areas are present. Beside the partial distance, we have also indicated the progressive distance from the city we started from. Obviously, the use of cyclo-computers is just a suggestion and it is not to be considered “compulsory”. Besides that, each cycle tourist can decide to use this tool following his/her own strategies and preferences.The situation is quite different in Basilicata and Irpinia, where all

minor alternative roads (where they exist) are unsuitable for long rides, as they are characterised by significant descents. On the other hand, it is relatively safe to ride along the main roads (pro-vincial roads or former state roads) as these are less trafficked and relatively well signposted. These roads also offer some further advantages that make them attractive to cycle tourists: first of all, they connect the towns and pass through them, instead of passing by or around them; second of all, the height disparity of the terrain tends to be evened out along this route, so that there are no steep ascents or descents.We have also tried to exploit the presence of former state roads which have almost been abandoned by motorised vehicles, since there are faster and more modern alternatives. Such roads repre-sent to us a precious asset that has not been fully discovered yet: this is the case with the former state road no.7 named “Appia”, whi-ch today has been downgraded to provincial road and segmen-ted, due to new road options. It is covered by the cycle route for a

considerable stretch of its length (i.e., for approx. 60 km, from S. Andrea di Conza to Atripalda, up until the gates of Avellino, with just a few, short interruptions). In the final part of the route stretching from Nola to Naples, which is a highly populated and trafficked area, one is obliged to make a difficult but necessary choice, due to lack of alternatives: one has to proceed on “Via Nazionale delle Puglie” (also called “state road 7a”) where traffic can be intense at times. However, on a positive note, this is a low-speed road where the speed limit is set at 50 km/h and, very often, it goes down to 30 km/h; this road can be considered as a long cross-city arterial road that links two cities seamlessly connected. There is also a conside-rably long stretch of cycle lane running along the old railway path; however, during the last survey, it has been pointed out that its conditions are such that it is not suitable for cycling.
11
General and technical observations
1. The itinerary is described following an East-West route, i.e. from Bari towards Naples; it is also possible to travel in the opposite direction following the same route; in this case, however, some streets passing through residential areas would be one-way.
2. The cycle route runs on paved roads in generally good condi-tion; we have paid particular attention in pointing out throughout our guidebook the presence of any stretches of road with uneven or rough surface; some short stretches of unpaved road (amoun-ting to a total of 7 km) are still considered suitable for riding, with any kind of bicycle. The whole length of this route is actually sui-table for any kind of bicycle, provided, of course, that it is in fair-ly good condition and equipped with suitable gears for tackling ascents and descents.
3. As it is the case with every cycling journey in the south, it is im-portant to get adequate sun protection and water provisions; we have indicated in our guidebook the presence of particularly long stretches (over 20 km) where there is no access to water supplies.
4. Since the route runs through the Apennine Mountains, one is to expect height differences that might be quite challenging, even though we have tried to avoid roads with steep ascents and de-scents. A well thought out journey plan with adequate stops can help you tackle uphill slopes in the best possible way and avoid unwelcome issues with the wind, which in Apulia and Basilicata can often be your worst enemy.
5. Since the route runs through rural areas and fields with grazing animals, it is possible to encounter shepherd dogs along the way.
