The first push on the pedal feels almost ceremonial: the electric assist quiets the effort while the city wakes around you—cobbled alleys of the Old Town give way to the wide sweep of La Concha promenade and the Atlantic, which seems to dare you to slow down and look. Riders climb a wooded spine to a cliffside viewpoint where Santa Clara island sits like a rounded stone in the bay; below, surfers carve waves off Zurriola while gulls quarter the current.
