The Experience
Before You Go
Lock it up
Bring or use the provided lock and secure your bike to a fixed rack when visiting shops or historic sites—bike theft can happen quickly in busy areas.
Hydrate for heat and humidity
Charleston summers are hot and humid; carry a refillable water bottle and pause in shade every 30–45 minutes on longer rides.
Use the basket for small stops
The included basket is perfect for a market haul or camera—keep weight light to maintain balance and control.
Wear a helmet and visible clothing
Helmets are included—use them—and choose bright colors for midday traffic and early-morning fog near the harbor.
