About The Ride Lake Como
The Ride is a bike rental and tour operation based in Oliveto Lario on the eastern shore of Lake Como, just ten minutes by ferry from Bellagio. Housed inside the Camping La Fornace grounds, the shop caters to cyclists and hikers looking for a quieter, less touristy side of the lake to explore on two wheels or on foot.
Rentals include road bikes, e-bikes, and mountain bikes suited for the hilly terrain that surrounds the lake. The Ride also organises group and custom guided bike tours for all abilities, from gentle lakeside spins to challenging climbs into the mountains above Lecco. Hiking activities round out the offering for mixed groups where not everyone wants to ride.
The location is a genuine advantage — Oliveto Lario sits at the base of the Lecco branch of the lake, giving riders direct access to routes that avoid the heavier traffic around Como and Bellagio. The team prides itself on personal service, route customisation, and well-maintained equipment that keeps returning guests coming back season after season.
