What the day feels like

What the Two-Hour Sweep Feels Like

The tour moves briskly but considerately—two hours of guided scooting that mix riverfront cruising, short urban stretches and curated stops for photos and public art. Guides adapt pace for beginners and experienced riders, pause for context at cultural sites and supply helmets and light attachments when needed, so the flow is more conversational exploration than athletic push.
