Confirm helmet fit
A properly fitting helmet is critical—try the supplied helmet on before you ride and ask for an alternate size if it feels loose.
Layer for wind chill
Even on warm days, speeds along the coast create wind chill—bring a lightweight windproof jacket.
Sit forward and relax
Follow the rider’s guidance: lean with turns and keep feet planted to reduce fatigue and improve balance.
Pick low-traffic times
Schedule rides for mornings or late afternoons to avoid commute congestion and enjoy softer light for photos.
Helmet (if you have one)
Familiar helmets fit better and reduce distractions—operators provide helmets if needed.
Windproof jacket
Blocks wind chill and helps you stay comfortable at speed.
Closed-toe shoes
Stable footwear protects feet on footpegs and during mounting/dismounting.
Eye protection / sunglasses
Protects against glare, wind, and insects—clear lenses are better for low light.
