The end-of-school cycling celebration in Quargnento
Quadrigentum Bike Day is the event in Quargnento—a small town in the province of Alessandria nestled in the hills of Monferrato—that marks the arrival of summer and the end of the school year. With the slogan «End-of-school party: hop on your bike and let's ride together!», the event invites children, teenagers, and families to grab their bikes for a day of sport, play, and outdoor socialising.
The event stems from a collaboration between the Municipality of Quargnento and the Pro Loco Quadrigentum—whose name recalls the town's ancient Roman toponym—and is part of the calendar of initiatives that bring the village to life throughout the year. Quadrigentum Bike Day is, above all, a community moment: an opportunity to celebrate the end of school together, promote soft mobility, and introduce younger generations to the joy of cycling safely.
The day, designed to be accessible to all ages and fitness levels, revolves around the bicycle as a tool for fun and exploration. Following the tradition of previous Quadrigentum sporting days, the programme alternates between cycling and recreational sports activities held in the town's green spaces, particularly in the Parco Gamboa area.
Quargnento is perfectly positioned for cycling enthusiasts: the Alessandria Monferrato offers quiet country roads, rolling hills, and vineyard landscapes recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Quadrigentum Bike Day is also an opportunity to rediscover this region at a slower pace, promoting a healthy lifestyle and local tourism.
Included among the events promoted by the municipal administration of Quargnento, in Piedmont, the Quadrigentum Bike Day is one of the most anticipated dates for local families. For the updated programme, times, and participation details, it is recommended to check the official channels of the Municipality and the Pro Loco Quadrigentum.
