Stuzzicabici
The food and wine bike ride through farmhouses and flavors of Concordia sulla Secchia
About Stuzzicabici
Pedaling and Tasting in the Bassa Modenese
Stuzzicabici is one of the most beloved events in Concordia sulla Secchia, a municipality in the province of Modena in Emilia-Romagna overlooking the Secchia river. The idea is simple and successful: a multi-stage food and wine bike ride that crosses the countryside and hamlets of the area, alternating flat cycling with the discovery of local peasant flavors. It's not a race, but a leisurely ride open to everyone—adults, families, and children—designed to enjoy the landscape of the Bassa Modenese at a relaxed pace.
A Route of About 22 Km Through Five Delicious Stages
The route winds for about 22 kilometers, entirely flat, ideal even for those who are not expert cyclists. Along the way, there are five gastronomic stops set up at characteristic farmhouses and agricultural businesses, where participants can stop to taste the typical products of the area. The route passes through the hamlets of Concordia, such as San Giovanni, Santa Caterina, Vallalta, and Fossa, in an itinerary that highlights the rural farmhouses, agricultural businesses, and zero-km products of the Emilian plain.
The Flavors of Emilian Tradition
The common thread of the day is typical Emilian gastronomy. At each stage, participants can taste local specialties, from local cured meats like salami and mortadella to the famous gnocco fritto, to fresh pasta and traditional desserts, always accompanied by Lambrusco—the symbolic wine of these lands, available in the Sorbara, Grasparossa, and Salamino varieties. The final stop in Concordia concludes the ride with a convivial lunch and the classic homemade ring cake.
A Community Celebration by Pro Loco
Stuzzicabici is organized by the Pro Loco Concordia sulla Secchia, which has been active for years in promoting the territory and cycle tourism along the Secchia river. The event, now in its tenth edition, has become a regular fixture of the Concordia spring: a joyful way to rediscover one's land, support local agricultural businesses, and spend a day outdoors in good company.
Who is it for
- Families with children looking for a relaxing bike trip
- Cycle tourism enthusiasts and fans of flat routes
- Lovers of good Emilian cuisine and Lambrusco wine
- Those who want to discover the hamlets and farmhouses of the Bassa Modenese
