Hi, I'm going to lake garda for a few days and want to do some cycling. Wondering if anyone has recommendations for a decent road bike rental and perhaps route suggestions? cheers J

All I can offer is that I was there in 2019 (in the "before" times), staying near Maderno on the Western side. Saw very few cyclists on the main roads on weekdays and much higher levels of traffic than a decade previously. The lack of lighting in the tunnels is only incidental to issues with lapping the lake. Mixing with fast cars, power-rangers on motorbikes and general tourist traffic took the gloss off riding in the area for me.
The higher roads, up above the lake towards Lago d'Idro or Passo d'Ampola, weren't too bad.
Only drove through Limone but Riva itself has become very overcrowded in the past few years.
