Ride tips

Short and friendly. Check the feels-like temperature, not the plain one.

What to wear

Feels like 15°C or above: shorts and a short jersey.

Below 15°C, dress warmer:

  • 10-15°C: arm warmers, leg or knee warmers, light vest
  • 5-10°C: long bib tights, long-sleeve jersey, jacket, thin gloves
  • Under 5°C: thermal layers, winter gloves, overshoes, cap under the helmet

Rain or wind? Take a light rain jacket. Wind makes it feel colder, which is why we look at feels-like.

Before you go

  • Bring 1-2 bottles and something to eat on anything over 50 km.
  • Check tyre pressure and brakes. We will show you at pickup.
  • Download the route first so it works offline.
  • Bring a phone, a card and a lock for coffee stops.
  • Bring a spare tube. We can show you how to change it.
  • Tell someone your route and when you expect to be back.
  • Check the sunset time and plan to be back before dark.

On the road

  • On bike paths keep right, ring your bell to pass, and watch for tram tracks and wet cobbles.
  • Ride single file on narrow dike roads.
  • Eat before you are hungry, drink before you are thirsty.
