Ferrara, the city of bicycles

Ferrara is considered the most bicycling-oriented town in Italy. Ferrara city center is off-limits to motor traffic. A few more roads are open to autobuses, taxis, residents, and delivery vehicles, but the majority of the center is for shoes and bicycles. There are thousands of the latter.

The most amazing collection is at the train station on the weekends, where commuters leave literally thousands of bicycles locked up, awaiting their return. The Ferrara terrain makes it ideal for bicycle touring inside and outside the city limits. But beware of bicycles thieves and don't leave your bike without a locker.
