MARKED! (SECURE?)

(















(leggi tutto per traduz. italiana)

On a Wednesday afternoon (it is the only possible time to go for it) I went to the Tanari Parking where Comune di Bologna offers a service of bike security marking with SecureMark® system for (only) 5 Euros. This is in order to allow the identification of who's the bike owner and supposedly it would discourage bike robbery.

Long May You Ride!

"It's All About The Bike" by Robert Penn
(Italian Edition "Ciò che conta è la bicicletta")
An inspiring book. Robert Penn likes breaking his perfect-bike-quest travel around the world to tell us about men and circumstances that made the bike as it is. "Long May You Ride!" to you, the Umberto Eco of the bicycle!

Un libro di grande ispirazione. A Robert Penn piace interrompere la sua ricerca-della-bici-perfetta viaggiando attorno al mondo per raccontarci le vicende di uomini (anche qualche donna, ma poche) e circostanze che hanno fatto la bici come è. "Long may you ride!" anche a te, Umberto eco della bicicletta!
