The Experience
Before You Go
Expect urban traffic
Cycling is on busy city streets—follow your guide’s instructions and keep to single file in intersections.
Bring sun protection

Carry a phone grip
A small phone stabilizer or grip improves handheld photos while riding or during quick stops.
Hydrate and pace
Bottled water is provided, but bring a small refillable bottle and pace yourself—stops are frequent but humidity can be tiring.
