Morning light slides across the Promenade des Anglais; the sea gestures and dares you to follow the coast. A city bike under your hands turns that dare into a simple rhythm of pedal, wheel and waves. From the agency in the heart of Nice you can roll onto the Promenade du Paillon, thread the colorful alleys of Old Nice and feel the shift from palm-lined seafront to centuries-old stone streets.
