Can someone please give me directions from the Center of Florence to the woods of Barco Reale and how to actually get to the trails of Barco Reale would be appreciated. I believe Barco Reale is on the North side of the Arno? Also how to get to a wooded area that is West of the Center and...

Is is a trekking bike and NOBODY in the center sells shrader valve 700x35 shrader tubes OR the Grommet/adapter...of course Florencebybike said they did in an email but when I got there, they didn't......I guess I will have to drive to Nencini to see if they have either the adapte or the shrader...

Didn't realize when I bought my wife's bike that the wheels are drilled for Schraider valves...I guess the guy that was helping me didn't realize either since he gave me presta valve tubes. Do you think Nencini (or anywhere) carries 700 x 35C schraider tubes or the plastic grommets that will...

Let's see how the weather turns out next weekend...send me a PM sometime during the week. Wanted to ride some today(maybe around the Arno with my wife), but 40deg F is just a little too cold for me....even with leg warmers, arm warmers, wind layer, etc. etc. Thanks!!

Went to NencinoSport today....Va Bene!!! Awesome shop...ended up getting my wife a Trek. Can anyone give detailed directions to a good parking place/starting place on Monte Morello say from the Sesto Iper Coop or NencinoSport if you want to start ride the trails of Monte Morello from where you...

Grazie...I will check out both places and report back if we end up getting her something. Will probably wait a couple weeks to see if the weather looks like it is going to start being a little nicer....Grazie!

I was here in Florence from July - September and then had to leave. This time I brought my rode bike with me (don't hate me......:mrgreen: ) as well as my mountain bike. I also brought my wife and we need to get her a bike to ride with me...nothing aggressive, just a hard tail (maybe a soft...

Rode Monte Ceceri today...FUN STUFF!!! Nice trails....the ride to Fiesole was a little difficult for me (had to take about 3 rests on the way up), but I made it and found Mount Ceceri. Rode about 19 miles total and the ride back down from Fiesole to Firenze was fun....except for when a scooter...

is good!! It will definetely be fun and will probably be funny (you watching me struggle and probabyl crash multiple times.......)...keep in touch..

I hope you mean "fun" and not "funny"!?!?

Sounds great...of course next weekend will be my last weekend in Italy for possible 1 - 2 months....my dumb company messed up my Visa and my 90 days is up....unbelievable. I just get my bike and now I have to go home and be without it again for 1 - 2 months....but anyone riding this weekend or...

Anyone riding Monte Morello o Monte Ceceri this weekend wanting to ride with a 'newb'? If not, any suggestions on safest route to ride up to Fiesole? Buon weekend!

Woohooo...first ride on Florence...Fantastico!!! Woke up this morning not feeling very good....but decided to get on the bike and at least see how she rode after putting her together....ha....back after 29 miles (46.6 km)!! Felt great...awesome to be back on the bike. Rode from the center...

bike arrived, everything is fine...except of course, I wake up Friday morning with a sore throat and headache, upset stomach.....overall feeling crappy, but it couldn't keep me from putting her together yesterday. She is ready for her maden Italian ride (I hope to feel well enough tomorrow...
