Our ride was great. We saw so many historical buildings and places and learned about the city's deep history and events that shaped the look of its streets, rivers and skyline. We couldn't have seen this many places or experienced them as we did if we'd done a walking or bus tour.
The bikes were decently maintained, but safe. The bike mechanic made some adjustments to my bike before we left so I felt good getting on the bike. The guide showed me how to make the best use of the gears on the ebike. It was a different e-bike than I'm used to, but is was fine. We were on the bike first about 4 hours.
Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He grew up and went to school and college in the central city so his first-hand knowledge is deep. We rode on small neighborhood streets and paths, through paths in parks to get back. We stopped at the best overlooks for classic photo ops of the buildings and bridges.
