There are two bicycle shops in Rome that I suggest. One is Lazzaretti, in Piazza Fiume Tel. 06/85.53.828 (10 minutes walking from Termini central railway station) Mr.Mario speaks english. The other is Bacco in Via Assisi (more far towards Tuscolana railway station). You can ask for packing and other bicycle services. Attention, not all the TRAINs have the special wagon for bicycles, so it is better to ask in advance. For any additional need in the Rome area you should contact Maurizio Triolo (mtriolo@mbox.thunder.it) www.thunder.it/privati/mtriolo who is himself a quite serious bike traveller (he toured all New Zealand, Ireland etc.), and has now opened a small but delicious Bed&Breakfast, named Maurizio B&B. It is located in Via Vassallo, 61 reachable in 10 minutes by feet from Stazione Tiburtina (that is a stop of Metro B and of the TRAIN from International Airport of Fiumicino). He offers 3 rooms, each with 2 beds (one of them is more spacious and can arrange two extra beds), with all comforts including Internet connection. Price is 35 USD per room per night, and 45 for the larger one. Continental breakfast is 3 USD. He can arrange for maps, guided tours, storage of bike boxes etc; and knows from personal experience every need of a bike tourist. Phone is 06-43.83.668 o 0761-600.872 o 0339-13.43.233 - book well in advance! In case you have the same need in Tuscany, I like to mention another excellent address for bike rent, equally friendly and supportive: Giuliana Mulas - CICLOPOSSE BIKE COMPANY - Montepulciano - Siena - ITALY tel & fax +39 0578 716392 <2200b102@bccmp.com> http://www.bccmp.com/cicloposse . I believe they don't offer B&B themselves but can certainly make arrangements. feel free to ask more! ciao
