| | | Should I be really physically fit to do a tour with La Bicicleta Verde? I haven´t ridden a bike since I was 12 years old! | | | No, not at all. Anyone who knows how to ride a bike will enjoy our tours. Both children and elderly folk have joined us over the past months with no problems as all. All of our tours have a number of short stops while in route to share information, ask questions, laugh and rest when needed. We have put together a ride that is suitable for all skill levels and ages, from those who haven't ridden years to those who ride regularly. La Bicicleta Verde is a great option for the whole family. It's all as easy as ...well, riding a bike! No, you won’t be the first grandmother or grandfather riding the tours. Our afternoon tour, Parks and Politics, is a gentle ride through the parks and downtown Santiago, pedaling and coasting right about 6.8 miles or 11 kilometers.
Our morning tour, Local Life, is a gentle ride through the northern part of Santiago, including Bella Vista, Patronato, Independencia, and into the main square. This easy-going outing is just over 4.1 miles long or 6.6 kilometers long. Santiago is an ideal city for bike riding or bike tourism, due to its level landscape, spacious park space, and relatively uncluttered side streets. All of this makes for a simple route for almost all types of individuals. If you feel comfortable riding a bike through a park at a slow speed, you will feel comfortable on our tours. |

| | | Is it safe? | | | Santiago is a very safe city. Chileans are very respectful of us throughout our tour, slowing down to give us the right-away at turns and stopping when we must cross at the different side streets throughout the route.

| | | Are there any age or height requirements, or limitations in this respect? | | | At this moment, all passengers under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult. While there is no height requirement, our bikes are best suited for individuals over 1.60 meters or 5 foot 3 inches tall. As for our tallest customers, we have had visitors measuring in at nearly 6 ft 8 inches or close to 2 meters tall. Considering our bike tours are created to relaxing atmosphere and not a racing competition, our beach bikes fit a lot of sizes. |
| | | I had a great time on the tour. What can I do to support you or where can I send a testimonial myself? | | | We're happy to hear your comments and will post them with any appropriate pictures you might send too. Please send your testimonial to info@labicicletaverde.com If you want to help us in other ways, just let your hotel and other travelers that you recommend us. |
