One of the best days in Rome came when all 16 students rented bikes and rode down the Apian Way out of Rome. The instant we got on the bikes, all madness broke loose. We all turned into little kids the second we had the freedom of two wheels. We proceeded forth in a huge line of bicycles taking each road we went down by storm. We were all ringing our bells in great musical glee the whole way. Once we got out of town, we hopped onto the cobblestone Apian Way which has been a street ever since the Romans laid it down all those years ago. It was a beautiful day of sun and a few clouds hanging on the hills off to the side. We rode up and down hills and over rough rocks bumping up and down until our insides were jumbled to a good degree. We took our bikes off road and cruised through pastures and valleys, rivers and off rocks.
