The Experience
Before You Go
Helmet Fit
Helmets are provided but check fit before you roll — a snug, low-sitting helmet protects best in urban stops and starts.
Bring a Water Bottle
Two hours of gentle pedaling under variable skies requires hydration; most stops have cafés to refill.
Layer for Changeable Weather
Coastal Gothenburg can switch from sun to drizzle — a light waterproof and wind layer keeps you comfortable.
Watch Urban Traffic
The route uses bike lanes and city streets; stay alert at junctions and follow the guide’s instructions for group safety.
