now now, dont get all worked up

that bike belongs to giacomo elia of roma's cicloffica centrale
one of the nicest, friendliest italians i met when i was over there
and he does not speak english. so his fgg post is a little strange...
these guys and girls at the "bike offices" are dedicated to promoting cycling all over italy. they have bike coops set up in squatted buildings where they'll teach you how to fix your bike, lend tools, or just hang out.
they featured bike movie nights, bike parties, dinners, art shows, and all sorts of rad things.

if you have the chance look them up. http://www.ciclofficina.org/
