Around the world with J Rae

Bikes bikes bikes are everywhere! I just returned from Italy and England with many photos of bicycles. The Italians love their cruisers and road bikes, and the English love all types of bikes. I saw many Treks, Lemonds, and Gary Fishers in England, especially in London.

Here are a few photos I snapped. The last two are from the Tour Prologue held in London this year; I was in Hyde Park. The first is of Robbie McEwen and the second is of a Discovery member.
