Sweet Ride - Firenze The previous librarian left his bicicletta for me and today I took her for our first ride. We had a little bit of a stuttered start as first I had to find a pump that was pressa-valve ready because even the fat tires over here have them. Mischief managed and cracking tires inflated and seemingly holding air Rosebocciolo and I set off. It felt very good to be back on a bike, albeit strange to be sitting so erect. We took a nice spin down the Arno to try and score some mattone for my Ruck. Alas I was unsuccessful in that mission but the day was fair, the ride was fine and I look forward to more afternoons thus in the slow saddle.
