You start on the quays of the Douro with a soft Atlantic wind on your face and the low electric hum of the bike under your feet. The river dares you to follow its bends, past old warehouses stacked with port barrels and under iron bridges whose shadows sweep the water. Within minutes you leave the busiest streets and find cobbled alleys, poplar-lined viewpoints and the green lungs of Porto City Park.
