Bike-sharing, around the city on two wheels

Trieste is a small city with a historic centre that can be entirely visited on foot, but many of its beauties are more easily accessible on two wheels. I decide to become a tourist of my own city for the day and experience the excitement of bike-sharing.
I look for the nearest station on the map of the #BicInCittà app and being of a lazy nature. I choose to pick up an e-bike. Registration to the http://www.bicincitta.com site or the same app is really simple, fast, and low-cost! So after having invested 9 € in my health, I jump on the saddle of my new travel companion and head towards the Barcola promenade. The route is well known but no less exciting and involves crossing an extensive urban area once unused but in a strong phase of redevelopment and enhancement for some years now. It is the Old Port. Once I cross the entrance, the old hangars and port warehouses offer a beautiful view and testify to this essential aspect of the city. Paying attention to the old tracks that unfortunately still emerge from the asphalt in some sections, I enter another space-time dimension where time seems to have almost stopped. I carry on, and after not long, I glimpse Warehouse N.26, now home to the Museo del Mare (Sea Museum), which houses the beautiful collection of Lloyd Triestino Ships and even further on the Hydrodynamic Power Plant, both unmissable. Emerging in Viale Miramare just before the Bovedo car park, I ride the last kilometre and arrive at the BITS station n.7 of Barcola. After returning my faithful e-bike to the column, I walk the last kilometre and enjoy a well-deserved reward at the pine forest “kiosk” and the sunset. A beautiful day!
