One Bike, Two Bikes...

One bike, two bikes, red bikes, blue bikes. Old bikes, new bikes, yellow bikes, purple bikes.

Hey everyone! This post is going to be about bicycles. 

Pretty much every family in Italy has at least one bike. They are a very popular mode of transportation. Unfortunately, they haven't been used the past couple months because of the crappy weather. Just now, they are starting to come back out. 

All the bikes are different. I have yet to see a bike that looked the same as another. Everyone has a different color, style, or age. I have seen everything ranging from white and covered in rust to new and a shiny, metallic blue. 

One thing that all "bikers" have in common: the horn. Everyone has a cute little bell/horn on their bike handle bars. This is used to basically tell people to get out of the way. When a bike wants to get by, they ring their little bell and the people in front of them automatically move to the side; almost like trained robots. Whenever someone hears that bell, they know exactly what it means.

Anyway, I wish I could line up all the bike styles, ages, and colors throughout Italy. It would be like a rainbow! :)

Thanks for reading!
