Valentine's day! ... anything left for the boys?

From http://italianbicycles.com.au

Hello Wonderful People!!!


Finally back on the blog after a quite time in January. Nowadays almost everybody is back to work after the Festive Season and thus, more bike riding for those who hate the cars or the public transports. More fun and more happiness Before and After work... how cool is that?

Typical breakfast before riding to work
Lot's of issues with the floods in QLD and NSW while plenty of bushfire in VIC, SA and WA. The whole team at Italian Bicycles hopes that everybody is now recovering or on the way to it.

It seems climate really needs to settle down instead of acting unpredictable every summer. We guess a good way to help the climate would be reducing Carbon emission into atmosphere and this can certainly be achieved through more .... BIKE RIDING!

However if you buy a bike and ride it only once a week that won't change things much... instead riding a bike every day of the week or at least 3 times per week then YES, this will make a difference to our environment. Also, don't forget that 3 times per week on a bike means 156 days of the year, which is equivalent to losing quite a bit of fat in excess for those who need losing a couple of Kg or simply want to appear just nice and lean.

So... let's talk about .... VALENTINE's DAY!
What do you think is going to happen this year? Will the MAYA made a mistake and predicted something else on 14th FEB? And more onto Valentine's day meaning is it only for girls or the boys should claim their fair share of credit? Regardless of the answer, there are plenty of different ways to celebrate Valentine's day and one of this could be: A Relaxed Bike Ride with your partner... along the beach, near the park, or why not up the hills and downtown ...

A Valentine's day suggestion with Lombardo Murano 26 W 3sp integrated Shim Nexus

As we were discussing above Valentine's day is the opportunity to also do something new and different than the daily routine, so a relaxed bike ride together can add a romantic / precious value to any relationship. We strongly recommend it... take your partner for a nice relaxed ride, make him or her feel great. They will surely appreciate!

But... is Valentine a day for handing gifts only to women? Do the boys want their share too this year? As you know Lombardo Bikes make some beautiful Carbon frames hand-made in Italy for both MTB's and Road Race... unfortunately we are unable to service those online but there are roughly 14 shops in all AUS and NZ which can help you with this. As a curiosity we ask the importer for Lombardo in AU and NZ how much is the real weight of the frame below and his answer was "Less than what you think"... my answer was "999 gr? " and his reply was "Spot on, it is less than what you said. It is only 990 gr." I bet you money the frame below would be the PERFECT present to many of the boys around who love Quality and Performances without compromising Weight and Reliability.

A new boys toy for Valentine's day?

The deep expression of love can be so different and variable, so it is art in the very many ways this has been expressed by authors. The same principles applies to bike frame design and graphics, particularly if the craftsmen developing these have been in business for more than 60 years and have, from a little country side location, sold genuine Italian Hand Made Bikes all over the world, proving quality is still the best decision you can make!

A different perspective of bike, for those who are commuting or boating or camping and don't like rusty frames bits and unsafe folding systems
I guess this artistic expression of manufacturing is now confined in very little realms around the world, where people work hard with passion and love to give out their very best with what they do... a bit the same with the bottom line reason why we should celebrate Valentine's day: Love and Passion!!!

Love and Passion to you all! .... Many Sweet Rides!

See you all soon.
