We might rent bikes to explore downtown Bologna and Ferrara (and perhaps some other places). Are helmets and locks typically included, or should we bring our own?
When you rent a bicycle in Italy, do you get a helmet and bike lock?

Take your own helmet in any case - you know it fits, doesn't have nits and hasn't been in an accident.
Usually when we rent bikes overseas there is a lock provided, usually not a helmet.
Ditto. Plus, I like to wear my own helmet - who knows where the others have been...
be very careful with what you get given. I rented one when i was in Italy last year, and I got a real wreck. try before you buy! [ie make sure that it's properly adjusted, with the seat the right height, brakes that work, something that will actually go in a straight line, etc. etc.]
We rented bikes in Rimini, on the Adriatic cost, and we only got locks, without any helmets.
