market under the stars + mass spinning

Barga Giardino was alive with people this evening for the market under the stars. A normal market day with all the stalls out in the streets except that the market is open until well past midnight.



Shopping as a leisure activity has never been my kind of a lifestyle event but doing it on a hot balmy evening in Barga in August could just be acceptable.



Adding to the shopping by night was the sight and sounds of mass spinning in Piazzale Matteolli with row upon row of happily sweating people on fixed bikes spinning away for all they were worth. Outdoor spinning has in recent years turned into something of a spectator sport
