Our Bicycle Legacy

Chronò Experience Srls was born from Paladino’s vision. As a young man, he learned the art of bicycle mechanics from an elderly master. Years later, Paladino decided to open his own bike shop in 1993, Chronò, which quickly became a popular destination in Lucca, Tuscany. With growing success, Paladino, together with his sons Davide and Carlo, founded Chronò Experience Srls to offer travelers an authentic and unique experience in Lucca.

Chronò Experience not only showcases the stunning beauty of Lucca and its countryside through curated bike tours but also immerses clients in the true rhythm of local life. From enjoying a coffee at a local bar before each ride to discovering renowned vineyards and fully exploring the city, every tour reflects the essence of Lucca. The experience culminates in a traditional dinner at a local restaurant, where visitors can savor genuine Italian and regional dishes, making for a perfect end to a day of discovery.
