Cambiago is a town in Italy that's for bicycle enthusiasts. Located in the Lombardy region and part of the great textile city of Milan, the 6,000-resident Cambiago is where bikes, namely the Conalgo Master, are built. Cambiago has museums dedicated to the Conalgo bikes, and if you're visiting this town, it would be sacrilege to bring your car. The local hostels in the area are mostly family-owned along the lines of a bed and breakfast and, of course, many have free bicycles to lend to their guests so they can explore the region.
