Benefits of Cycling, benefits for you and...


Hello everybody!
How is everybody coping with the cold we are facing these days? From Adelaide to Melbourne and from Brisbane to Sydney, Canberra & Hobart and the whole of their respective states, temperatures have not been sensational for the cycling lovers! Except Darwin of course and perhaps Perth during some days.

We have report of few people riding Lombardo bikes during the extremely wet Style over Speed event last Friday in Brisbane. Among our follow Lombardo Bikes riders some in NSW write saying Sydney is a much better place if you live it on a bicycle, who cares about the cold when you ride a glamorous and stylish bike! Also, we receive messages from plenty of people down in Melbourne who complain about the endless rain and cold but yet, they keep cycling for the many benefits associated with it. Speaking of which, given last week success we wanted to re-post our famous diagram (figure below) highlighting some among the many benefits.

By they way, have your heard the rumors? ITALIAN WEEK is on in Brisbane! For those coming up/down to Brisbane or those living close to Brisbane, a various range of interesting and quality events will be held within the City and mostly the CBD. Finest Wine and Food tasting, Music exhibitions, Fashion/Art/Cars displays, dance... and, last but not least..... Italian Bicycles!

Mother's day ... how was it?


Hello! How was your Mother's day? Tell us, what special treat did you give to your Mum? Did you offer some chocolates? Did you then suggest to get on a bike to preserve the silhouette?
We had a fabulous bike ride, this time in Brisbane, along the river in New Farm and South Bank all the way to Hamilton. Marvelous Queensland winter, great views and lovely temperatures were the perfect combination for a truly great Mother's day ride! Also, we were extremely happy to notice around us a lot of people cycling with a big smile in their face like ours!


The several benefits cycling can give to your physical and mental health are now well stacked in the mind of every fitness/outdoor lover. At Italian Bicycles we certainly know these benefits and what they mean to any person willing to be mildly, constantly or super active with their body. 

However, what about people who have absolutely no knowledge of any benefits derived from cycling? What about people who have not been brought up as physically active as many bike lovers (non professional bike lovers) and thus, keep thinking of their car as the only mean of transport? That's a real pity in beautiful countries like Australia and New Zealand, particularly in overall warm climate areas like WA, QLD and NSW.

Just in case you need some refreshment or you wish to keep your beloved family and friends informed on the benefits of actively cycling as a lifestyle, we are proudly helping you with the picture above. So, next time someone is asking you "What is so cool about being on a bike? Why risking your life against cars?"... next time you hear that you can certainly start your answer as in '"Well, there are a lot of beautiful and healthy reasons, both for your well being and the well being of your wallet!". How is that for an answer?

MOTHER'S DAY IS HERE!


Who at least once in a life time hasn't given a present to his/her mum for Mother's day? I am pretty sure plenty of us have! The idea of celebrating mum's is great because together with fathers they represent the greatest and most important people in our life, or at least throughout our growing up years.

Mother's day is one of those days where treasuring moments and kind actions run throughout our minds, particularly if due to work or other commitments we cannot be close to our parents.

I guess we cannot say anything else that is better or more beautiful about mum, they are simply special! In such a special time we are delighted to send out a special message to all of the mum in the world..... we also send all of them our best wishes!
