What is cuter than a Fiat 500?

Few things, in my opinion. Except for kittens, of course.

"Once a year the seaside town of Garlenda on Italy's Ligurian Coast plays host to the world's biggest gathering of fans of one of Europe's favorite cult autos, the Fiat 500."

So, in honor of the cinquecento and the celebration taking place in Garlenda (wish I could be there), I've selected this creative portrait of the beloved car. I think it captures its essence beautifully. Don't you?

Aren't these three 'cycles a sight? Lovely. The layout, too. I can't remember the last time I rode a bike. Elementary school? Man. That was like, eons ago. I hope that riding a bike after years (and years, and years) is really as easy as, well - riding a bike. Because I have this desire to bike through parts of England, and Provence, and Tuscany. And Holland! And I don't know where all else. Not Paris though. Vélib' looks cool, but (to me) Paris is a place best explored via metro, bus, or on foot. About those bikes though. Do they make 'em with training wheels for adults? Ha. That would look pretty pathetic. I'm not sure I'd care though!
