Pedalando in bicicletta…

January 11, 2009 // Posted in bike  


In questi giorni di neve e ghiaccio la nostra auto e’ sepolta in garage; impossibile superare la ripida e scivolosa salita… Cosi’ e’ ormai quasi una settimana che ci muoviamo a piedi o in bicicletta. Certo, possiamo permettercelo essendo privilegiati che non necessitano l’auto per andare al lavoro, ma e’ piacevole accorgersi che possiamo sopravvivere anche senza auto.
Per quanto riguarda la bici il discorso e’ completamente diverso. Come forse qualcuno sa, possiedo una bici da corsa comprata a Berkeley, al mitico Missing Link. E’ una Bianchi blu, che adoro (tra gli oggetti che possiedo e’ probabilmente quello cui sono piu’ legato), per i ricordi e perche’ pedalare con la mia Bianchi e’ un piacere di cui credo di non poter fare a meno. Cosi’ anche oggi, nonostante la neve a bordo strada e qualche infida lastra di ghiaccio, approfittando delle ore piu’ calde (la temperatura era intorno agli 0 gradi), mi sono fatto un giro molto suggestivo, verso Bereguardo.



After the snow, we are now experiencing ice problems. Our car is closed in garage and it is not possible to use it because the climb is too much slippery. So we have to wait some warmer day, to eliminate the ice. However it is nice to move around just walking or riding our bicycles. Yes, I know, we are lucky because we don’t need a car to reach our offices, however it is nice to understand that we can survive also without a car.
On the other hands something I can’t live without is the possibility to ride a bycicle; and in particular I love a lot the beautiful Bianchi road bike bought at Missing Link, the most popular bike shop at Berkeley. It probably is the object I love more, and today too, although it was very cold, with the snow still around and although the roads were very slippery, I rode up to Bereguardo, and it was an amazing experience.
