| Mopeds
(Motorini) and scooters, called Vespas ( on the picture) or wasps in Italy because of the
buzzing noise they make, are an efficient way of getting through the traffic. You may want
to stick to quiet streets to begin with, though, Although motorcyclists have to wear
helmets by law, moped riders over 18 don't. However, you can hire helmets from most hire
shops in Rome. Bikes and mopeds can be hired from Collati, Roma
Rent, Sccot - a - Long, St. Peter Moto and Scooters
for Rent, Biciroma rents from several spots in the old centre
and a telephone hire service operates in the summer and autumn. You may have to
leave a credit card as deposit when you pick up the bike. |
