Going to Italy? Swing by the bicycle museum of Cosseria

Make sure to spend a few hours at the Museo della Bicicletta on your next trip to the North-West part of Italy. Cyclist since forever, Luciano Berruti is an unique character, a man out of time, fond of bicycles, and raced 18 editions of the world famous amateur race, Eroica di Gaiole in Chianti. The 205-kilometer cycling race winds its way through dirt and gravel roads in the hills of Tuscany. At rest stops along the course, they are fed a decidedly unathletic diet of prosciutto, salame and Chianti wine. Many ride one-speed antique bicycles, some of which are 100 years old. The retired construction worker Berruti usually ride his single-gear Peugeot bicycle from 1907. “She makes me feel young,” said the mustachioed rider in a patched-up sweater. In 1999, Luciano opened a cycling museum in Cosseria, a village in the province of Savona, not far from Cairo Montenotte, on the north side of Apennines of Liguria. Enjoy the video!
