You pull on a helmet, settle onto a low-slung fat-tire e-bike and feel the city roll under rubber and tide-salt air. The ride starts easy: quiet Uptown streets where narrow one-way lanes and Victorian brick facades guide a slow rhythm, then opens toward the Harbour Passage where the Bay of Fundy edges the route and the wind feels like a prompt to pedal a little harder.
