Italian Moms on Bikes

Since my friend is still looking for her replacement "mom's bike", I thought I'd post all the mothers (and fathers!) we captured out cycling in Italy.

 When I saw these bikes waiting outside the bakery I knew there would be a family of cyclists nearby.

 Sure enough, ten minutes later I heard the older child happily chatting with her mother as they safely cycled through the walled city of Orvieto.

 This mother in Florence has both of her children on her way into town on the dedicated bike lane along the river.

 This mother and her daughter were navigating the piazza near the Duomo in Florence.

 This family was parking near the Spanish Steps in Rome.

 Riding as a family in Villa Borghese seems to be the thing to do on Sunday. Bonus points if you bring a picnic lunch!

Some cyclists even appear to get their start on the safe walkways in Villa Borghese.

This little girl was enjoying her lollipop as Dad cycled home along Via del Corso, which was closed to traffic several times while were were visiting.

This little girl was quite relaxed heading off somewhere with her mom and dad. I even caught her yawning!

You're unlikely to see a little girl balancing on a bike like this in Boston!
