Between rain showers we road our "new" used bikes today. Both bikes we purchased in Marausa at the bike shop. Greg was able to convey with almost no Italian what we wanted. Steffen came with us later and translated for us. They are mechanically good bikes, although at least 20-30 years old. Italian made. Both have fenders, racks and lights. Steffen asked why they did not paint the bikes, to cover rust and the guy said you would not want to paint over the original paint job-classic! When we leave in April, Steffen will buy the bikes from us for 1/2 of what we paid for his next guests. Works for everybody.
The rides were very nice. We were a little worried about traffic on the narrow roads but today was Sunday so traffic was minimal. We watched a soccer game and found a back route from Loco Grande to the highway, near the wine shop, the vegetable stand and the bakery.
Squeezed a liter of orange juice which should last a few days.
