Piazza della Cattedrale is located in the heart of Ferrara, and everywhere you look there are bikes.

In each alcove and portico there were bikes all in rows ready to go.

While the natural preferences of bikes was to stay together in herds, there were loners who were happy sought quiet walls to rest against, like this bike outside our excellent hotel.

Some of the bikes were very dapper.

Others were more rough and ragged.

Most of the bicycles were adorned with baskets, everyone needs a good accessory, right?

This lucky cat bike was tucked away in a secluded courtyard, it was very shy.

Cats were not the only things to embellish the bikes of Ferrara, This fashionable dog was at home in his very own, blanky lined basket.
