One of the main ways to travel around the different cities around Italy is with a bike. Milan has different stations opened that you can rent a bike for your commute to work, an appointment, or just for fun. This was a cultural thing I wanted to soak in and with a group we looked into how to go about renting a bike for a little stroll.
Instead of just putting cash into the station, taking the bike around, and returning it, the process was much more! We had to travel by Metro to an ATM station. The ATM’s here allow people the get Metro passes for long periods of time as well as the codes for the bikes. Through some broken English we had our codes and passwords and were on our way back to the bikes.
We unlocked the bikes and after some shaky starts, we were on our way. The city is so beautiful on the bikes, as we rode around the Sforza Castle and through Sempione Park. There were many people out so we careful not to run into anyone. It was a beautiful day and a great experience. It may seem like such a small task, riding a bike, but to have the experience, it put a small part of the city into a completely different perspective that made it shine.
