The Experience
Before You Go
Check frame size at booking
Provide your height on reservation so Sicicla can allocate the correct TREK frame and adjust setup on arrival.
Carry ID and emergency info
A valid passport is required at pickup; keep the shop’s mobile contact and your emergency details with you during the ride.
Plan morning or late-afternoon rides
Palermo heats quickly—ride early or late to avoid traffic and the strongest sun, and to enjoy calmer coastal winds.
Expect mixed surfaces
Bring shoes with good grip—the route mix includes cobbles, coastal asphalt, gravel service roads and short technical singletrack.
