Make sure to spend a few hours at the Museo della Bicicletta on your next trip to the North-West part of Italy. Cyclist since forever, Luciano Berruti is an unique character, a man out of time, fond of bicycles, and raced 18 editions of the world famous amateur race, Eroica di Gaiole in Chianti.
The 205-kilometer cycling race winds its way through dirt and gravel roads in the hills of Tuscany. At rest stops along the course, they are fed a decidedly unathletic diet of prosciutto, salame and Chianti wine. Many ride one-speed antique bicycles, some of which are 100 years old.
The retired construction worker Berruti usually ride his single-gear Peugeot bicycle from 1907. “She makes me feel young,” said the mustachioed rider in a patched-up sweater. In 1999, Luciano opened a cycling museum in Cosseria, a village in the province of Savona, not far from Cairo Montenotte, on the north side of Apennines of Liguria. Enjoy the video!

Thank you!
Caio!

Is that really all there is to it because that’d be flrasebgabting.
That’s a shrewd answer to a tricky question
Reblogged this on and commented:Fantástico recordatorio. Somos hormigas llenas de poder, llenas de consciencia, tanto como el más grande, tanto o más que el que nos sigue, mucho más que el que cree nos dirige. Sólo debemos darnos cuenta. Despertar de una vez!!!
