Bicycleta Banyuls 00911Objective: Tour Madeloc!
Let’s meet in the early morning at Bicycleta, at 12 rue Lapérouse in Banyuls. We arrive a little early and Leanna is already there, preparing the bikes. I realize I’ve never ridden an electric bike before, but hey, I know how to ride a bike, so it should be fine… [Spoiler alert: yes, it will be fine!]
We are part of a small group (7 people in total): the atmosphere is already good!
Leanna’s briefing before the start about the safety rules, and especially about the functioning of the bikes, the opportunity to try the settings on the square, in this quiet street.
In the great outdoors, effortlessly
Here we go for a morning in the middle of nature. We leave Banyuls rather quickly to find ourselves in the nature, the kilometers and the difference in altitude go down, almost without effort (it is still necessary to pedal, we are not on the solex of our grandparents), but we feel that the electric assistance plays its role fully. Along the route, a friend from Banyuls comments the landscape, very interesting little explanations about the environment and the history, always in a relaxed atmosphere. There are vineyards as far as the eye can see, and as we go up, the landscapes are constantly changing, evolving, and above all, we see our objective – the Madeloc Tower – approaching!
