About Cicli Veloce

Founded over two decades ago in the vibrant heart of Bologna, Cicli Veloce is more than just a bike shop; it's a cornerstone of the local cycling community and a passionate hub for riders of all levels. Our journey began with a simple love for two wheels and a commitment to providing exceptional service in Emilia-Romagna. We chose Bologna because of its rich history, beautiful surrounding hills, and thriving cycling culture – the perfect place to foster a community of passionate riders.

We've grown from a small workshop into a comprehensive destination, offering everything a cyclist needs. From the latest road bikes designed for tackling the Apennines to sturdy urban bikes perfect for navigating Bologna's historic streets, and reliable e-bikes for effortless commutes or scenic tours, our curated selection caters to diverse needs. Beyond sales, our expert mechanics provide meticulous repair and maintenance, ensuring your bike is always performing at its best. We specialize in custom builds, turning unique visions into reality, and our professional bike fitting service guarantees maximum comfort, efficiency, and injury prevention.

At Cicli Veloce, we are driven by our deep-rooted passion for cycling and our mission to share that joy. We believe that every cyclist, from the competitive racer preparing for a Gran Fondo to the casual rider exploring the countryside, deserves personalized attention and expert advice. Our consultation service embodies this philosophy, offering dedicated time with our knowledgeable team. During your consultation, we'll listen intently to your needs and aspirations, providing tailored guidance whether you're searching for your first road bike, looking to upgrade components, planning a complex custom project, or simply need advice on local routes. It's our commitment to ensuring your cycling experience is not just good, but truly perfected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our consultations are highly flexible and tailored specifically to your individual needs. We can cover in-depth discussions about finding the perfect new road, mountain, urban, or e-bike for your riding style and budget. Alternatively, if you have an existing bike, we can assess its condition, discuss necessary repairs or potential upgrades, and provide expert advice on components or accessories. Consultations are also ideal for preliminary discussions about our professional bike fitting service or planning a dream custom bike build from the ground up. It's dedicated time to get personalized answers and guidance from our expert team.

A standard consultation session at Cicli Veloce typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. This duration allows ample time for a focused discussion about your specific requirements, whether it's bike selection, service advice, or preliminary fitting questions. For more complex topics, such as detailed planning for a complete custom build or an in-depth analysis required before a full bike fit session, we can often arrange for a longer dedicated appointment if needed. Please mention the complexity of your needs when booking if you anticipate requiring more time.

Our initial consultations focused on advising you about bike purchases, general service needs, or accessory selection are offered as a complimentary service. We believe in providing value and expert guidance from the very beginning of your cycling journey. However, specialized, in-depth services such as a full professional bike fitting session or detailed design consultations for complex custom builds do have separate fees associated with them, reflecting the dedicated time and expertise required. Any applicable fees will always be clearly explained and agreed upon beforehand during your initial discussion.

Absolutely, yes! Many customers book a consultation specifically to discuss issues with their current bike or to get advice on necessary repairs and maintenance. Bring your bike with you, and our mechanics can perform a preliminary assessment during the appointment. We can then clearly explain the condition of your bike, recommend the most effective repairs or potential upgrades, discuss the required work, and provide an estimate for the service. It's an excellent way to get a clear understanding of your bike's health and plan its care.

What you should bring depends on the focus of your consultation. If you are seeking advice or assessment for an existing bicycle (e.g., for repairs, upgrades, or fitting discussion), please bring the bike with you to the shop. If you are primarily interested in purchasing a new bike and discussing options, you don't need to bring anything other than yourself and any questions you might have. If your consultation is related to a professional bike fitting session, please bring your cycling shoes, cycling kit (shorts, jersey), and your bike if the fit is for a specific bicycle you own.
