Conservation

Hydrate and stash snacks
Bottled water is provided, but bring a small snack for energizing before hill climbs—e-bike assistance helps, but you’ll appreciate the boost.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Cobblestones and short steep sections demand stable footwear for safe mounting and dismounting.
Use the helmet provided
Helmets are optional but recommended—urban rides with tram tracks and traffic benefit from head protection.
Watch tram tracks and cobbles
Approach descents and tram lines at an angle and at controlled speed to avoid slips.
Closed-toe shoes
Provide grip on pedals and protection on cobblestones and curbs.
Light waterproof jacket
Spring showers can appear suddenly; pack a lightweight shell.
