What to wear
We recommend that you dress warmer than you would for a day of walking, as traveling by ebike creates the effect of a cooling wind for riders, especially along the waterfront and shaded streets. A light longsleeve shirt plus windbreaker or a light jacket is recommended as the minimum. A rain jacket should be worn on damp days. Please wear comfortable shoes for bike riding and walking.
