What attracts cyclists to our area?

“We think of everything…”

What do cyclists want?

An American cyclist describing Italian hotels:

“These hotels…offer amenities…for a successful cycling

vacation: transfer to and from the airport; meals to keep the

legs, heart, and head properly fueled; laundry service; a secure

bike room…, a rental service offering high-end bicycles….

Of course we’d be interested in this.”

“All bicycles weigh fifty pounds.

A thirty-pound bicycle needs a twenty-pound lock.

A forty-pound bicycle needs a ten-pound lock.

A fifty-pound bicycle doesn't need a lock. ” ~Author Unknown
