Italy is very mountainous except for the plains from Venice to Milan. Never biked around the northern lakes like Como. Wanted to bike around Garda, but the traffic is too bad. There traffic might not be bad like LA, but there are pretty much no shoulders on the roads.
Very cool.
Please let us know how your rides go.
