my shiny new bicycle

…which I just bought on Clivo Portuense the street with all of the bicycle/moped shops by Porta Portese – now that the rains have stopped – and already it has totally changed the way I experience the city, having always been on foot until now – very exciting: night-time rides around the colosseum, big circles around Piazza del Popolo, and long journeys up the Tiber along the super fast pathway on it’s banks (when it isn’t flooded by rains, or covered in mud after).
