What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the start point and receive a bike fitted to your height and reach. The ride flows gently across well-maintained paths, mostly within parks and away from roads. Every 1.5–2 kilometres, you'll pause to stretch your legs and absorb some quirky local knowledge—the sort of detail you won't find in guidebooks. The pace never feels rushed; stops give you time to recover and chat. By the end, you'll have cycled steadily without strain, and picked up a handful of memorable stories about the landscape you've travelled through.
