Cycloscope is Daniele Giannotta and Elena Stefanin. Traveling the world by bicycle since 2014 across more than 50 countries. We write about the places we visit and the gear we like. A journey in search of images, sounds and words. hunting for unknown or forgotten treasures. A way to travel slower, closer to ancient rhythms, a kind of neo-nomadism.
