Safety
As part of our service provided to clients, our client’s safety is paramount. Bikes are serviced on a regular basis and all repairs are completed as required. Helmets are provided to all riders. A first aid kit is carried at all times and all guides are instructed on its use. A second guide is also provided on a ride where group size or group demographics require this to ensure the safety of all the riders. All rides commence with a safety briefing to the group. Through all of these undertakings, we strive to achieve an enjoyable and rewarding tour for all involved.
