Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Italian cycling history

Repost from ss/fg:

I have to do a presentation/paper on Italian cycling for my italian class and I was wondering if anyone knew some relevant links, publications, books, etc. that could help with this. Yes, I know how to use Google; yes, I know how to use Wikipedia. Any and all help is greatly appreciated

You might do well to cross-post in Classic and Vintage as well.

If it were me I'd focus on Tullio Campagnolo, Fausto Coppi, the Giro d'Italia, and the tradition of Italian framebuilding.

this book looks interesting:
