The Experience
Before You Go
Helmet Fit & Use
Helmets are provided—adjust straps before you set off and keep it fastened while riding in traffic.
Bring a Refillable Bottle
Short stops don’t replace hydration—carry 500–750 ml and refill at cafés or public fountains.
Watch for Cobblestones
Slow down on cobbled streets and choose a smooth line to avoid slips or sudden braking.
Start Early to Beat Crowds
Early morning rides are cooler, quieter and give clearer photo opportunities at major sights.
