How to pick a good bike tour

  1. E-bikes make hilly cities easy and are usually worth the small extra cost.
  2. Ask whether helmets are included and whether the route uses bike lanes or shared streets.
  3. Look for groups of 12 or fewer, so the guide can stop where there's room to gather.
  4. Morning tours are cooler and quieter on the roads.
