Hi, it's Yuki the tour guide or the poor one whose younger brother got "very lucky" from Omikuji (Kind of Japanese fortune telling) and got himself "terrible luck". Anyway, I talked about basic equipment for e-bike tours in Kyoto and do not forget that your safety always comes first. Whether you're enjoying e-bike tours, a cycling trip, or a bicycle adventure, these tips will help ensure your ride is safe and enjoyable.
1. Plan Your Bicycle Adventure Route
Before heading out on your cycle travel, research Kyoto’s bike-friendly paths and streets. Popular areas like Arashiyama or the Philosopher’s Path are scenic and safe for bike tours. Avoid busy roads where cycling might be challenging and that's what we do as well.
2. Gear Up for a Safe Bike Trip
Proper gear is essential for a safe cycle adventure. Ensure your e-bike’s lights and brakes are in good working condition before starting your bicycle trip. If you would like to know more detailed tip, you can read it from here.
3. Follow Local Cycling Rules
In Japan, cyclists should ride on the left-hand side of the road and obey traffic signals. Pedestrian walkways are often shared, so always yield to walkers. These rules are crucial for a smooth and safe electric bike tour in Kyoto.
4. Stay Alert During E-Bike Tours
Kyoto’s streets can be narrow and filled with pedestrians, especially in areas like Gion. Be mindful of your surroundings and use your bell to alert others if necessary. Staying aware ensures your bike adventures are hassle-free.
5. Hydrate and Rest
Exploring Kyoto on an electric bike tour can be exhilarating, but don’t forget to take breaks. Stop for a drink, enjoy local delicacies, and recharge both yourself and your e-bike battery.
