Book a cooler time of day
Morning or late afternoon reduces heat and crowding along the beach and in Ciutadella Park.
Use provided helmet
Guides supply helmets — wear one and adjust the fit before you start to stay safe on mixed surfaces.
Carry a small lock
Bring a lightweight lock if you want to pop into a bakery or museum; guides may watch bikes but locks offer extra security.
Hydrate and pace tapas
Sip water between stops and save room for tapas at the final bar; alcohol before long rides can impair coordination.
Helmet (if you prefer your own)
Personal helmets ensure fit and comfort even though guides supply helmets.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is key on sunny coastal stretches and during tapas stops.

Comfortable closed‑toe shoes
