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