Great video Carlton, makes me want to go now. The bike is the perfect mode of transportation, fast enough that you get some where but slow enough that you see, hear and smell everything on the journey.

There were two types of cyclist on the trip: recreational and athletic. Both types get to see the countryside at close quarters. A fast bike is still relatively slow.

Mind you, I clocked 81kph on one downhill. I was concentrating, but still able to take in the scenery. The rush of air was fun, too. You feel speed on a bike, in a car it's hidden away.

Beautiful video Carlton! Living in Mallorca, Spain, we identify with every element you show here. And it makes us want to see more of Italy as well!

Awesome!

Thanks, Franklin. I wish I lived somewhere hot and sunny! So much better for cycling...

Wow, this looks really good. How the video was put together was awesome too. Now I want to go, but what do I know, I'm just a kid.
