The Experience
Before You Go
Helmet and limits
Helmets are provided—confirm fit and adhere to the 110 kg weight and 1.40 m minimum height limits before booking.

Ride the right lane
Stay single-file in busy areas and obey local traffic rules—guides will set pace but you must remain alert to vehicles and pedestrians.
Layer for temperature swings
Night temperatures can drop quickly after sunset; pack a lightweight jacket to stay comfortable during photo stops.
