The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a filled water bottle

Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes
Sturdy footwear improves control on cobbles and when mounting or dismounting the e-bike.
Protect against sun and glare
Sunscreen, sunglasses and a brimmed cap under the helmet make coastal stretches more comfortable.
Mind traffic and tram tracks
Stay in designated bike lanes and cross tram lines at a shallow angle to avoid slipping.
