i'm talking about real routes, where you can do a 2/3-hour ride going at 35km/h without having to break every minute because someone might go on my way or because of a red light.
there is a huge difference between commuting and doing real cycling
there are 2.7 millions ppl in Rome, so i don't think it was that idiotic to try to reach a Roman here ?
1. This site is largely American, so little chance of Italians being on here.
2. Italians are not great with other languages, so even less chance of Italians being on here.
3. Commuting *is* real cycling, it's just a different kind of cycling
4. Sorry, can't help you, I don't do your kind of thing, I'm an urban jungle kind of guy. All I could recommend are the best intersections for a good adrenaline rush.
The only thing that comes to mind for me is the coast from Ostia to Anzio, that's a nice ride I've done a few times. Or cycle around Bracciano. Best bet is to check out various routes in the country (Umbria, Tuscany) that you can get to easily by train.
Good luck, bud.
