This is a short video I made for Bill, the owner/operator of I Bike Italy. We had an incredible day, minus my little wreck. (Only an idiot would shoot video while biking...)
-- This is a "must" do tour if you are going to visit Florence and want to get some exercise and get away from the usual tourist traps. Here is a little on the tour - stolen directly from the website:
Since 1993, I Bike Italy has been liberating foot-worn and weary travelers from the routine of trains and cities. Change pace and scenery, feel a cool breeze, breathe some fresh air, and really see Tuscany! No one else in Florence offers this type of activity or experience, and group sizes are limited. Offer leisurely, professionally guided and fully supported, single, and two-day bike rides and walking tours in the Tuscan countryside just outside of Florence.
We provide you with a shuttles in and out of the busy city center, quality 21 speed bicycles, helmets, water bottles, delicious Tuscan meals and bilingual guides to show you the way or fix any flats!
Walk, or ride your bike through shimmering olive groves and past fertile vineyards. See and visit Florentine castles & hillside villa estates. Wine tasting at local Chianti vineyards.
The bike tour sounds like fun.
Suggestion: cut the part that says "No museums...No churches" I wouldn't expect that on a bike tour anyway, but it kind of slams those of us who also love the magnificent art that's in museums and churches.

My girlfriend and I took this tour with Bill back in 1995 and had a great day !! I often think about a great adventure this was, ...very different from the normal sightseeing. We had great weather and saw some beautiful sights and ate some great food. We will do this again if we ever make it back to Florence. Hello to Bill !!
