I'm off to Pescara in Italy with Europe's most on-time airline (ta-da!) on Wednesday next week. I've arranged to hire a road bike and am hoping to climb to the Blockhaus and get some other rides in.

My Italian isn't great, but I have spoken to the shop where I am picking up the hire bike from, and know I have to take my shoes and pedals. I may also take the usual spares you'd take on the bike on a long ride in the UK -an inner tube, tyre levers, patches, glue, pump. Do you think I'll have any problems getting on the plane at Stansted? Are they going to react like I am a suspected terrorist?

I may also take a water bottle, and some small battery lights. Again, will that be ok?
