Morning light pulls silver across Lake Como and the town of Como wakes under the pre-Alpine slopes. On an electric city bike, riders move with a quiet urgency—pedal-assist easing the climbs, the lake constantly at shoulder height or just beyond the promenade. Streets open onto piazzas; neoclassical villas watch from terraces above; distant peaks mark the rim of the basin.
