Such a charming way to great around! Just need a bottle of wine, a bunch of grapes, some olives and a loaf of rustic bread in that basket to enhance the journey even more.
You make a good point – there are lots of ways to see Italy, and I’ve found that walking (strolling actually) has been my favorite way to see the sights!
Nice photo. With all the crazy drivers in Italy, I don’t think I would take a chance on a bike unless I was on a little country road and then I would still think about it.
Thanks Karen! I thought the bicycle was a charming sight. But as you point out, it’s probably prudent to consider something sturdier (i.e. a car) when you’re actually going any distance. Good suggestion!
That’s true- a bicycle in Italy could prove to be strenuous depending on where you are. It’s probably something that’s nice to think about, but a little impractical in reality! Walking is a good alternative…
I think it would be a great way to get around! Faster than walking, but you’d see so much more than with anything motorized! Great photo, too! :-) Debra
Thanks Debra! And that’s what I thought – you could go at a leisurely pace and have great views the way you do when you’re walking. So it’s an option to consider… :)
I’ve never been to Italy but I’m a big fan of bicycle riding!!! It’s one of the best ways to get around NYC, and pretty much anywhere in this world! BTW Meg, I love your new blog design! :o)
I haven’t tried renting a bicycle in a city yet, but I think it could be a good way to get around! And thanks for noticing my new theme – I really appreciate it :)
Thank you so much! I really enjoy taking pictures to keep as souvenirs. And when you’re walking or on a bicycle you can just stop and get those pictures!
OH! Did you do a wine & bike tour through Tuscany? The vineyard views are breathtaking! And if you are in Chianti, let me know if you made it up that last “hill” at the end! ;)
Love your postcard! I love photos of bikes anyway! You have such great ideas and photos!
Good to be back and see your blog again…well, we’re almost back….we’re in Omaha!
