Cycle trip through France or Italy?

While in France, taking a bike ride through the gorgeous Bordeaux vineyards or touring the Loire Valley, home to the quaint châteaux, is surely an absolute winner. 

However, in Italy, the Amalfi Coast offers breathtaking coastline routes to explore, while the Tuscany region offers jaw dropping scenery and cultural treasures.

The ideal bicycle ride ultimately comes down to personal taste in terrain and surroundings. Here at ETG it is pretty much impossible to decide. Both countries are incredible for an adventure, with great food, wine, the people and so many different diverse local features (and steep hills!)

Whatever you choose enjoy the environmentaly friendly buzz of pedal power.

Framing Life. The Raven Brothers from the United Kingdom launch their open-air exhibition on the bustling streets of India.

Each of the 50 portraits contain a sense of calm, and we believe that when displayed together, these frozen moments have real power." Chris Raven added. "Si's concept of using locations in India as the backdrop for the exhibition sounded colourful and fun...

5 Stories You Can Trust Are Real

The Raven Brothers. They weren't raised in New York or Paris, Istanbul or Bangkok. They didn't go to Harvard or Oxford or Peking University. The hill behind their house in a small suburban market town in the East Midlands, UK, was their playground, and the council estate in the valley was their urban jungle. Why should any of this matter? Well, until about a year ago, it didn't mean very much at all. Then ChatGPT arrived and suddenly AI driven news articles started to flood the media, and lazy journalists began to use the machine to craft opinions without any heart at all. The mass producers of content won awards for the simple reason that their junk clickbait was being seen. Introducing a new counter culture, where books written blind (wi thout the help of technology), are t he only sure way you can guarantee that what you are reading is real, that it was produced by a human and is not random plagiarized thought. When The Raven Brothers wrote their first book in 2005 it wa...
