  • Thin hat to wear under the helmet
  • Good shoes with a stiff sole for cycling or shoes suitable for hiking in the mountains

The bikes

You ride a sporty Scott hybrid bike. A light and comfortable bike that provides a nice and comfortable sitting position and is easy to get on and off. The bike works well both on asphalt pavement and on gravel roads.

As an alternative we also have Scott E-bikes with different urban E-bike models with a comfortable geometry, which ensures a convenient position for your bike tour. The Scott E-bikes are tuned for giving a smooth assistance and a gentle push on your back, helping you reach your destination a bit more effortless.

The bikes are equipped with suspension on the front wheel and have hydraulic disc brakes for safe braking in all weather conditions.

The bikes are regularly and well maintained. You will receive a bicycle in your size and the bicycles have a rear rack, mudgards, bottle holder, light, lock and a waterproof large bicycle bag. For the E-bikes you will also have a charger for the battery.
