Which bicycle should you choose based on your level and style?

Before starting any route, choosing the right type of bicycle can make a huge difference in your experience. It is not only about design, but also about functionality, comfort and safety.

Mountain bikes

Perfect for uneven terrain, loose dirt or natural trails. They offer strong suspension, better traction and more control on descents.

Road bikes

Lightweight, fast and aerodynamic. They are ideal for long distances on paved roads with minimal elevation. Their structure promotes efficiency and steady rhythm.

Electric bikes (e-bikes)

A comfortable option that allows you to reach longer distances with less effort. They are ideal for beginners, routes with long climbs or cyclists who want to enjoy the experience without feeling exhausted.

Tips for cyclists who are just getting started

Getting into recreational cycling is easier than it seems when following a few basic recommendations. Here are some useful tips for cyclists that will help you enjoy the experience from the very first kilometer:

• Start with short routes and minimal elevation to understand your limits.

• Adjust the bike properly: saddle height, handlebars and pedals according to your height.

• Stay hydrated and carry an energy snack to avoid fatigue.

• Take breaks to enjoy the scenery; this is not a race or competition.

• Wear comfortable and technical clothing, and always use a helmet—no exceptions.

Additionally, we recommend starting with an electric bike or a city bike if you struggle with endurance. You can also ask an expert about the type of bicycle best suited to your goals.

Bicycle safety on any route

Whether you are riding in the city or countryside, bicycle safety must always be a priority. These tips will help you stay safe throughout your entire route:

• Check your bike before heading out: brakes, chain, tire pressure and lights.

• Use front and rear lights—even during the day—to stay visible.

• Wear bright or reflective clothing, especially on routes with traffic.

• Respect road rules and stay aware of vehicles, pedestrians and other cyclists.

• Avoid headphones and always keep both hands available for braking or turning.

It is also recommended to carry a small tool kit, a spare tube and a pump. This can help prevent inconveniences if something unexpected happens during your journey.
