One thing I really love to do is ride bicycles around the city. It’s fun, good exercise, much faster than walking, and I always seem to make a new discovery around the city that I probably wouldn’t have made on foot. An added bonus…there is nothing like riding through the ancient city of Rome, passing by ruins and the beautiful elaborate buildings, all while having the wind blow against your face and through your hair.
This weekend we rode bikes from Trastevere to Villa Borghese, spent the day riding and picnicking in the park, then returned to Trastevere in time to watch La Madonna sail down the river in celebration of Festa de’ Noantri. Days like this aren’t just sweet, they’re pretty fabulous!

I just wrote my Dolce Vita post and it was about Borghese! =)
I love your photos in Villa Borghese! The one on the path brings back so many memories….I hope to go back and maybe I can make it a picnic, great idea!
Great blog!

What an interesting post. Despite the fact that I was waiting to find recipes here, this far more interesting!!
Theresa, you should definitely try to plan a picnic in Villa Borghese when you get back to Italy. It is so much fun! There is also a place in the park to rent bicycles if you’re up for bike riding. You’ll love it! 🙂
Thanks so much, Eftychia! I hope you enjoy the blog. I’ll share recipes, posts on restaurants and gelaterias, events and fun things happening around the city, and sometimes just food in general (because I love it so :-). It will be a little of everything. I hope you will continue to follow along. 🙂
I somehow never got round to linking up this week but have still popped by to read the other participants posts. Not just an enjoyable mode of transport but also green.
Oh, the fun! I know how great it feels to bike ride through the cities in Italy, I bet Rome is one of the best. Thank you for linking up this week! Love, Christy
