While in Pistoia we stopped by for a tour of Viner bikes.  #euroadventure

Viner is a Italian frame manufacturer that started after world war 2 in 1947.  They make some great quality bikes in Italy.  Just wandering around the factory you can feel the bike industrial history here.  The brand is owned and operated by the great great grandkids of the original owner Viviano Nerozzi.  You could just sense the pride as they walked us through and gave a tour.

“QUIT going on about the F**KING WALLS!” #euroadventure 

@shedfire’s best response as I ask or point out something uniquely interesting about the small stone walls in and around the fields of Hebden Bridge. 

The country side is lined and split up via stone walls made with stone from the area. It gives the UK character I think. 

Something to see when you visit

“Did you know Hebden Bridge is known as the lesbian capital of the UK” #euroadventure

My first day in the UK was set in the quite peaceful little town of Hebden Bridge, and as I adventure outwards to other cities in the UK and run into Brits they always respond with the question above in EXACT wording. It is the funniest thing:

Brit: “Right, where didja stay lad?”

Me: Hebden Bridge.

Brit: “Did you know Hebden Bridge is known as the lesbian capital of the UK.”

LOL. Every time! The town is small and has beautiful mountain biking, quaint small shops, and awesome stone walls around the area. But, it is known for the lesbian population. I get a kick out of that.

Here is a link to a BBC article about it

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16962898

A funny side note related to this is the Titus On-One Planet X super frame designer lives there. So if you ride one of their bikes it was most likely “Designed in the lesbian capital of the UK”.

I like that, it makes me smile.

Jeremy
