A Cyclist in Rome - Colosseum mystery and road crossing tip! 

Thank you for the video. My family and I just returned from 3 weeks in Italy. Our last four days were spent in Rome over Easter. What an amazing city and such wonderful people. Hope to be back again some day soon.

Great segment, really enjoyed the walk around Rome, thank you.

Rome in Christmas time, what a treat!

Love this, I can confirm driving in Rome is terrifying the rest of it is amazing though! Can't wait to go back.

Rome is amazing! Good to see you back in RU-vid. Merry Christmas!

Thank you Federico for this video. I saw it with my family! Merry Christmas!

Love the tour. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year❤❤🎉

Thanks for letting us know unusual curiosity about this city!! And merry christmas!

Good to see you back, Federico. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family!

Federico Thanks for the lovely video from Rome! My friend Leonardo and his wife who own several posh restaurants, went to Rome just before Christmas! They went to the Vatican, and saw Pope Francis pray to them! I had some amazing news, as I have sourced a Marco Pantani Bianchi replica bike in virtually never used condition! There are a lot about, but this has the top end Campagnolo Record kit on it, unlike most with cheaper kit. I am a 59cm, but it is a 60cm, so have had it bike fitted to mostly fit me. I am not using as an everyday bike, but a special occasion bike, to go with my original Pantani kit(i have it all, after six years of sourcing it worldwide!). I found it in Kent, with seller telling me that a young butcher had saved up his wages to buy the bike, but left it in his mum's house for over ten years. I rode to my friend's restaurant dressed as Marco on my Colnago C60, last summer, and had several looks of jealousy! I now have three top-end bikes, a Colnago, and two Bianchis! I can't remember if I told you, but I found a Specialissima bike in custom orange, in my size, in little used condition, so I decided to custom-build it(no expense spared!) with 12-speed Campagnolo Super Record EPS, ENVE carbon, etc. I sold off the awful Shima(NO!) Dura-Ace, ENVE wheels, etc, for over half the value I paid, too! Cutting a long story short, it was a pain to fit the Campagnolo cables, so holes had to be micro-filed to fit, with my mechanic having an accident on his bike, so he got his friend to help him, who is a GCN mechanic!!! The bike look's absolutely awesome, and a real head-turner with the "Bling!" I have just got my mechanic to change handlebars, replace all the cables, grease the bottom bracket, put on new celeste bar tape, etc. He suggested as many years old, and not smooth. I am a 38cm C-C bars size, with original ITM starting at 42cm which is too wide, so sourced some 38cm 3T vintage bars from the USA! Ciao Roberto

Brings back memories! I lived round the corner in Via di Monte Savello for two years in the early 2000s. Good times! Thanks Fede!

Buon natale amico Federico! Hope to visit Italy next year, ciao!

I really enjoyed this Fed ! ✅️◻️🟥

Thanks for the tour Fede !!! I love Rome ! I can remember staying at Hotel Capo D’Africa ! On the roof terrace you could see the colosseum. Bit to hot for me in the summer. You best be getting building up that Velobuild Merced’s . Hope you had a lovely Xmas btw 👍🏽

NIce one. Looking forward to the Cycling in Roma series. 😅 Merry christmas.

Love Rome❤

Amazing history and ruins love to go some day hopefully with a bike🚴 ❤️🇮🇹👍🇪🇺 great video

Merry Christmas Fede

This was hilarious about the drivers!😂😂😂 I named my daughter Roma, bc it is such as beautiful name and the history behind the city as well.

My favourite place in the world

Merry Christmas from Maui 🤙

hey Frederico great show. I am 100% Italian live in upstate ny. never been to Italy but hope to get there very soon...

Not are you just a talented cyclist in London, you are now a talented Rome tour guide 👌🏻

One of my favorite features of Rome are the open design trashcans, so that Seagulls may always have a warm meal. Very environmentally conscious. I hope I can catch an available NightJet from Vienna this year. They're always booked out. :(

Merry Christmas Federico. Very nice to see you out and about in Rome. Does Rome have an equivalent of the mythical Sigma Sports?

Rome is a great city. I love the blending of ancient ruins with modern buildings. The Pantheon is an amazing structure. It is believed that the first two Pantheons burned down. I've cycled in Rome in the past. You will find some cyclists commuting though not many. The best gelaterias cover their gelato and they tend to have muted colors, not the bright colors that attract the tourists. If you want the best food experience in Rome of course you must go where the Romans go, not where the tourists go. Thanks for the quick tour!

Salve. When will see the British Roman back in Montreal? Waiting for your return. Buon Natale e buon anno.

Very interesting. Can you go inside the colleseum?

“Bloody Romans! What have they ever done for us??” 😁😎👍🏻

As a Roman, you won't have any problems with traffic in Istanbul. :)

Wheelie bin?

Drove in Rome once …. never again 😂 scared the living daylights out of me 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ those Italian drivers are mental 😂 and I’m a white van man .

Not meaning to offend but that city looks awful. Definitely don't have any interest in it or it's history. I'm more into future space travel and where we are going vs the brutal past.
