I'm going to Italy on 16th of August, landing at Melpensa airport in Milan.
The idea is to buy a bicycle in Milan and cycle through Tuscany and eventually get to Livorno and stay a few days there.

I've had a look at subito.it and ebay.it and bicycles seem to be way more expensive than here. I'm just looking for a geared steed with a rack to hang panniers off.

Anyone knows anyone who can help/advise me?

Thanks,
Martin

Find the bike you want

Find it for as cheap as you can at Wiggle, bike-discount.de or similar

Have the bike shipped to where you are going

Assemble it, and ride it

I have a bicycle here, but wanted to avoid the hassle of shipping and the cost.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
