FAQ Overview

Common Questions

How should I dress?

Wear comfortable clothes and athletic shoes as if you were going for a run. Avoid cotton t-shirts, they get wet easily and due to the wind there is a risk of getting a stitch. I recommend shorts and a merino wool t-shirt or technical clothing that dries easily. A raincoat can be useful in the rain.

How far will we travel?

We will travel between 15 and 25 km, depending on the physical preparation of the group, weather conditions and other variables such as possible breaks. Your guide will plan the route for you to have the best experience possible. The whole experience lasts about 4 hours.

Do I need to be trained?

You do not need to be trained, because with an e-bike you can climb even the roughest slopes without any problems. You need to know how to ride a bike and be familiar with brakes and gears. Before leaving, there will be a briefing on safety and how to ride the bike.

Where will we meet?

We will meet in Certaldo at Bikemeup Valdelsa Via Lazio, 15, 50052 Certaldo FI If you wish, we will come directly to your home with the bikes and organize an ad hoc tour in your area.
