Choose the right bike
City bikes are fine for short urban loops; pick a trekking bike or e‑bike for coastal roads and longer distances to avoid mechanical strain and discomfort.
Bring a spare tube or patch kit
Although a basic repair kit is provided, carry a spare tube and pump if you plan multi-hour or off-road stretches where help is far away.
Secure overnight storage
If you leave a bike overnight, arrange indoor storage or a locked garage; bike thefts are possible in tourist areas after dark.
Watch coastal winds and heat
Check the forecast for sirocco winds and strong sun; strong easterly winds can make coastal rides significantly harder mid-day.
Helmet

Reusable water bottle or hydration bladder
