You start by the fountain in a small plaza; the guide adjusts a saddle and the city unfolds as you push off. Cobblestones in the Gothic Quarter nudge the rhythm of your ride, then the streets widen and sunlight spills across the orthogonal blocks of the Eixample. The Mediterranean breeze at Barceloneta dares you to slow down and look out over the sea.
