Hello, welcome to the forum! I've also joined recently because after looking around a lot, and learning new things from others in the group, I'd thought it would just be best that way - despite I don't know too much, yet. Cycling one day in Europe sounds fun, I've been thinking to do that myself; although one must do research first and like always when traveling abroad, be careful. I've heard that bike theft is really common over there! I've heard that every year there was a small bicycle event somewhere in Italy for bicycles (pre 1987/1985?) that when you finish the course, you get a small certificate that you completed it. It sounds simple, but I hope I'd one day would be able to go there (after corona, of course) - just for the fun of it!

Greetings from Kern County and happy cycling!
