The morning air in Negombo smells faintly of salt and coconut husk as you swing a leg over a mountain bike and roll onto a palm-lined lane. Traffic thins, the road narrows to packed earth, and the rhythm becomes pedal, breeze, and the occasional clack of a brick-maker shaping clay. For three to four hours you trace 25–30 km across low coastal plains, visiting brick kilns, coconut craft shops and a toddy tapper’s palm grove where a cup of fresh toddy closes the ride.
