Cultural Tip
Indoor cycling has become popular in many Italian apartments where space is limited. Italians often use a ‘ciclomobile’ or a fold‑up bike for quick indoor workouts. Remember to clear a safe area to avoid damaging furniture, and consider using a stationary bike if you have one – it’s a common solution in urban homes.
