Do I need to be a confident cyclist to join?

You must be able to ride a bicycle independently. The route follows flat, dedicated coastal bike paths, so no special fitness level or cycling experience beyond basic riding is needed.

Can I bring my child on the tour?

Children under 12 months are not permitted. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a paying adult. Tag-along attachments and toddler trailers are not allowed on tours for safety reasons.

What's the difference between the standard bike and eBike ticket?

The standard ticket includes a regular pedal bicycle. The eBike ticket upgrades you to an electric-assist bike, which makes the ride easier — useful if you'd prefer a more leisurely pace or want to conserve energy.

Is a security deposit required, and how does it work?

Yes — a refundable security deposit is held on a credit card at the start of the tour. You'll need a valid photo ID and a credit card (not debit) when you arrive.

Can I complete the waiver form before I arrive?

Yes. You can sign the rental agreement and waiver online in advance, which saves time at check-in. The link is provided in your booking confirmation.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The itinerary is subject to change due to weather conditions. If you're concerned about a specific date, check local forecasts and contact the operator ahead of time.
