ill., br. La fascia costiera della Toscana è un territorio decantato da fior di letteratura e conosciuto nel mondo per la sua arte, il mare, i cipressi "in duplice filare", l'aspra macchia mediterranea, la sua campagna e le costruzioni che la punteggiano, tra l'esclusivo e il rurale, adagiate in quegli scorci di natura e paesaggio. In questa guida viene proposta una selezione di 6 itinerari tematici divisi in 24 percorsi per qualunque tipo di bicicletta e di ciclista, tragitti da affrontare pedalando lentamente tra campi ben arati e distese di grano maturo, fino a raggiungere le spiagge e le baie che ritagliano incantevoli scorci tra il Tirreno e le colline.
br. Nove biciclette vuote, riposte con cura nel buio della memoria, appese al chiodo della disperazione, nove immagini, coppie di occhi pieni di vento, che videro traguardi e ora, chiusi, fanno paura. Nove racconti di viaggi, di sole andate. La follia di Gaul e l'insondabile buco nel cuore di Ocana, il sole del Ventoux e l'anima di Simpson che se ne va, la scalata folle di Jiménez, le notti di Pantani, i giorni di Vandenbroucke e il male di vivere. Cronache di paure che uccidono, l'ombra della chimica e i fantasmi del dopo, quando si smonta il traguardo, le ruote si fermano ed è silenzio, e tutto finisce e viene la notte. Melanconia, "la gioia del sentirsi tristi", secondo Victor Hugo. Morte e disamore. Discese verticali negli inferi. A precipizio. Nel ciclismo si dice "a tomba aperta". Giù, quasi a occhi chiusi, le dita lontane dai freni, troppo lontane. Giù, a fondo. Ubriachi di veleno. Incontro alla malamorte.
