This will be the last of my Cipo photos in a post for a while and only because I’m employing self-control.
To me he exemplifies “Italian Cyclist” and if I weren’t so lazy I would try to find his quote about cycling being representative of all that is beautiful in life.
Watch this silly video of Mario getting punked. The set up is the guy in the little car tells Mario some of Mario’s bike have been stolen and seconds later a camper goes by with some of Cipo’s bike on the back.
Italian hilarity ensues.
One has to come away with a few things from this fine bit of TV: Italian TV looks better than US TV, at least concerning the dress code for the hostesses. Cipo is so cool. I believe he does all this with his cycling shoes on. And his sleeveless jersey with world champion stripes still visible, oh I’m more than impressed. Unfortunately us non-Italian speakers are missing a lot of excellent Italian cursing and taunting here too. Enjoy.

To decapitate a building is a complicated, ten-step process:
i love the way he just walks over to the outhouse and picks up the wooden thing and uses it to climb in, that really does take some skill to land standing up in cleats.
great video. understanding Italian really helps. "il pedale" love that shit.
@frank my understanding of the dilapidated buildings is that if you finish them the taxes go up exponentially. Hence you see a lot of buildings that are complete on the inside but missing an exterior finish or with never ending "renovations". The bust babes in the other hand never end. As it should be.
