biking outside or Rome

The Appia Antica Park rents bikes. There are aqueducts, catacombs and wide open spaces on Sundays. Great place for a picnic.

I just did a google search, there are a few companies that offer what you'd like. here's the link to one of them, it looks interesting! http://www.italycruiserbiketours.com/romebiketour.html

If on a Sunday, you can do a very nice and peaceful ride along the Appian Way. Even walking in Rome is risky.

Thanks for the postings. Unfortunately we will not be there on a Sunday, but we have decided to do a bike ride at the Appian Way. Do you think this is something we can easily do on our own or should we take a bike tour? If a bike tour do you have any recommendations?

The park is large and the interesting things are spread out. If you can find a tour (I've never looked for one) that would be a good way to eliminate the hassle factor, especially with a young cyclist. I'm sure that The Google can find several bike tour companies that do the Park.

Just noticed that my posting about the dangerous way into the Park implies, incorrectly, that there is just one way into the Park. There are plenty more than just one, and some are pedestrian friendly. But the walk from Porta di San Sebastiano in one that I never will attempt a second time.

Any suggestions on a hill top town to go to and where to bike? I want it to be fun and safe.
