To ensure you don't forget anything important, we have prepared a packing list for you:
- Your own bicycle (‘Biobike’ – no e-bikes): No bike, no adventure.
- Your helmet: Safety first
- If you like and have them: You are also welcome to wear protective gear, cycling gloves, and sports glasses – but this is not a must.
- Your sturdy shoes: So you can ride and run well.
- As needed: Water bottle, change of shirt, sunscreen, rain jacket, and bike lock (to keep your bike safe).
