You say bicyclette, I say biciclette


It's true I prefer the French pronunciation, but I like the Italian spelling best. If I ask pretty please can I have them both? No, for consistency's sake I'm going with the Italian (bichi-cle-tay). It's just as well, since my dream town is Mantova - where the local dish is pumpkin ravioli and bicycles outnumber cars on the street.
