The French Riviera is more than a destination; it’s a state of mind.
In Nice, our Product & Marketing Manager, Leonardo Basso, explored its legendary roads alongside Jérôme, CEO of Café du Cycliste and a proud Basso owner, where Italian engineering blends seamlessly with the unmistakable spirit of the Côte d’Azur.
The Essence of the Côte d’Azur
From the iconic hairpins of Col d’Eze to the hidden coastal tracks, the Riviera offers a unique playground where the Alps meet the Mediterranean. It’s a landscape that demands both performance and style, providing the perfect backdrop to test the limits of a Basso bike.
Local Culture & Community
Cycling in Nice is a lifestyle defined by community and shared passion. Riding with Jérôme allowed us to dive deep into the local “savoir-faire”: the ritual of the morning coffee, the technical discussions on the road, and an authentic respect for the cycling heritage that lives in every climb.
Looking Towards 2026
This meeting celebrates the growing synergy between Basso Bikes and Café du Cycliste. As we look ahead to 2026, our partnership continues to evolve, driven by a common vision: blending premium craftsmanship with the authentic spirit of Mediterranean cycling.
As we ride on from the Riviera, we take with us more than distance covered.
We carry the inspiration to continue building bikes that are not merely machines, but trusted companions for your most genuine stories.
See you on the road!
