BIKE SHARING



Chilling at Piazza del Popolo after a 4hour bike tour around Rome




BIKE SHARING

The first thing you need to do is get your bike sharing card. It costs nothing, and its so much fun to discover the city on a bike, at night, after aperitivo when it's not too hot. Get your card at either the Termini, Lepanto or Spagna metro stations. It costs 10 euros. To get it you need your ID and your Codice Fiscale. You can use it immediatly. Get you bike at piazza del Popolo, go all around the city, up to villa borghese if you have the legs for it, back down, to the vatican, along the Tevere, all the way up to ponte Milvio, to piazza barberini and via veneto.... then drop it off and sit by the fountains on Piazza del popolo and put your feet in the freezing water. Take a friend. going alone takes half the fun out of it. But remember that italians and driving.... not really a great match, so watch out when you're on the big streets, and try to avoid them as much as possible; stick to the small side streets...

and ENJOY :)
