“We think of everything…”
What do cyclists want?
An American cyclist describing Italian hotels:
“These hotels…offer amenities…for a successful cycling
vacation: transfer to and from the airport; meals to keep the
legs, heart, and head properly fueled; laundry service; a secure
bike room…, a rental service offering high-end bicycles….
Of course we’d be interested in this.”

A thirty-pound bicycle needs a twenty-pound lock.
A forty-pound bicycle needs a ten-pound lock.
A fifty-pound bicycle doesn't need a lock. ” ~Author Unknown
