You push off from Oltrarno with the city’s brick and stone at your shoulder and the Tuscan hills sliding into place ahead. The e-bike assists when the road tilts; wind in your face, you rise above rooftops and the Arno’s slow ribbon. San Miniato al Monte perches on the skyline, a compact fortress of stone that frames Florence below.
