Today’s A-Z Challenge is this rather snazzily attired gentleman in Piazza Del Popolo in the centre of Rome. I couldn’t decide if he was on his way to a lunchtime rendezvous or heading back home to his wife to atone for a lunchtime misdemeanour! I particularly liked the way he stopped in the middle of the square to take several selfies.

He does look pretty cool, but how on earth did he manage to ride whilst holding those flowers, and what did they look like at the end of the journey?

I’m afraid that my suggestion as to how he’s riding his bike whilst carrying flowers in one hand and his phone in the other would be pretty rude…clever dick, anyone???

He certainly is! This was taken just down from the high end shopping area of Rome so I wonder if he’s some sort of fashionista?? Even on a bike, he looks more likely to visit Prada than I am!

Only in Rome, so dapper. Is that a bouquet or some Brussels sprouts?

I assumed he was carrying flowers but maybe he’s some sort of high-end vegetable delivery service???

How can you not love a well-dressed man with an armful of flowers?!! Extra points for making it look cool and casual to be on a bike!

Where else but Italy (and particularly Rome) could this photo have been taken!

I would think it would be a bit uncomfortable to ride a bike wearing a suit.
