The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive Early for Fitting

Show up 10–15 minutes before the start to get e-bike sizing and a helmet fit so the tour leaves on time.

Watch for Tram Tracks

Keep a steady line when crossing tram tracks and avoid angling your wheels to reduce the risk of slipping.

Bring a Small Lock

If you plan short stops beyond the group, a compact lock lets you secure the bike quickly.

Carry a Charged Phone

Phone maps and a charged battery are useful for emergency contact and quick translations in neighborhoods.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Chwaliszewo riverside alleys with quiet café terraces
  • Less-visited Fort Winiary viewpoints in Citadel Park

Wildlife

  • Mute swans and mallards at Malta Lake
  • Squirrels and urban songbirds in Citadel Park

Conservation Note

Cycling reduces local emissions and wear on historic sites—stick to designated paths, avoid tramlines, and carry out any waste to help preserve urban parks.

Poznań is one of Poland’s oldest cities; Cathedral Island hosts a cathedral whose site dates to the early Polish state and the city grew as a medieval trade center with powerful merchant guilds.
