Gabriel Donati

Gabriel is of mixed German and Italian heritage and is blessed with being bilingual. His English and Spanish aren’t half bad either. Based in the city of Milano, Italy he runs a bike hire business when not guiding tours. A many of many talents he has also turned his hand to designing and patenting a cargo bike and previously worked as beekeeper. His beekeeping days have been curtailed now that he is a Dad, but he still manages  to get out of the city when guiding bike tours for us.
