Bring your own bike and helmet

Expect paved streets, packed sand and occasional narrow lanes with local motorbikes—steady bike handling helps.
Hybrid or light mountain bike
Versatile for paved roads and sandy tracks found on this tour.
Helmet and basic repair kit (spare tube, pump)
Protects your head and keeps you moving if you get a flat.
1–1.5 L reusable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated in Goa’s tropical heat—refill where available.
