Aldo Zini has been cycling since childhood. His family of cooks and chefs is originally from Tuscany, one of the birthplaces of Italian cycling. He was born into a family of cycling and culinary "nuts" who moved to Milan in mid-50s. After what had almost become a successful career in cycling, he dedicated a great part of his time to study the phenomenon of cycling training and injury prevention. Still an athlete himself, he has now been a cycling coach for over five years with great achievements and success and he coaches his athletes both at a distance and side by side with them.
