Helmet use
Wear a properly fitted helmet provided or bring your own—cobbles and tram tracks can make city riding unpredictable.
Watch for cobbles and tram tracks
Slow down when crossing cobbled streets and ride perpendicular to tram tracks to avoid slipping.
Stay hydrated
Bring a refillable water bottle — three hours of urban riding plus hill climbs can dehydrate you quickly.
Timing matters
Book morning or late-afternoon slots to avoid crowds on the riverside and get softer light for photos.
Bike helmet
Protects against falls on cobbles and in traffic; sometimes provided but bring your own if you prefer.
Refillable water bottle
Staying hydrated is essential during three hours of riding, especially in summer heat.
