A beautiful route along the Sieve River. Nevertheless, you can't miss one or two of the main roads.
Some of the route is a bit nonsensical, so check the map every now and then.

Since Pisa doesn't have much to offer apart from the leaning tower, we parked our camper van in Lucca, 20 km away, and cycled to Pisa. Despite the 36 degrees Celsius, it was a lovely tour.

Cycling tour from Lucca to Pisa, a long stretch leads beautifully along the Serchio river on the Pista Ciclabile. The rest of the way to Pisa along a road with little traffic through the villages between the cities. It's best to leave your bike parked around the Piazza del Miracoli.
