Adventure Tips

Use the throttle on uphill sections

Throttle mode makes steep climbs manageable for all skill levels—save your energy for enjoying the views.

Wear layers for coastal wind

Even summer rides can get breezy near the ocean; a windbreaker can keep you comfortable on exposed stretches.

Hydrate frequently on longer rides

Pack water for multi-day rentals as coastal humidity and physical activity can lead to quick dehydration.

Bring a camera for quick photo stops

Guided tours often pause for photos at scenic spots—keep your camera handy to capture the coastline and wildlife.
