APIAN WAY

“Bicycle! Bicycle! Bicycle!

I want to ride my Bicycle,

I want to ride my bike,

Bicycle! Bicycle! Bicycle!”

-My theme song for the day as made famous by Queen

Today our professor took us on a bike ride down Apian Way to see the catacombs and the countryside. We all rented bikes and had a lot of fun riding around. Along the way we stopped at a famous catacomb, saw a few tombs and dodged traffic. Riding a bike down an old cobblestone road on a mountain bike might be fun, but when riding on a bike designed for nicely paved streets it is a different story. We took the brand new bikes we rented off-roading through the mud and off a few jumps just to test out their capacity. I think we approved. Riding through the countryside has been one of the highlights of the trip and I cannot wait to do it again sometime soon. It is difficult to describe the excitement of a bike ride, so I hope my pictures will fill the void I have left here in my blog.
