Can't buy that kind of advertising for the product.

It’s a way more sustainable option than flying, especially as I was essentially a foot passenger. It’s about 10 per cent of the carbon footprint of a short-haul flight.

My Italian is basic duolingo level, so don’t learn anything from me. A google suggested tappa regina is in use, but a) tappone is trad, and b) AI might have hallucinated it.

Suboptimal, but the cold was the biggest challenge. Was zigzagging down because I was shivering so hard!

Stage 14 🚂
Milano Centrale - Verona Porta Nuova
1515

Frowns from the train guard about the bike not being in a bag. But Italian jobsworths are amateurs compared to the Brits and French, and he not only let me on with the bike, but also put me in business class.
