Bring a helmet

Watch for cobblestones
Slow down on cobblestone stretches and use wider tires or lower pressure to reduce punctures.
Hydrate and snack
The tour includes a coffee/snack stop, but carry water—summer heat and steady pedaling add up fast.

Get fitted to your bike and attend the safety briefing at least 15 minutes before departure.
