When you arrive at one of the two Bike Tours Helsinki headquarters you will first be equipped with a bicycle and a helmet (everything you need to complete your bike tour of the city).
While you can bring your own bicycle on the tour if you like, most people don’t go through the hassle. Instead, the company has a small fleet of bicycles on hand, which they provide for use on any of their guided bicycle tours.
The bicycles are commuter-style bicycles with flat handlebars, a casual riding position and smooth city tires. The bikes have both back pedal foot brakes and one hand brakes so you feel free and comfortable to cruise around the city. They are the perfect cruiser bike for citywide sightseeing!
On the company’s bike and sauna tours they use single speed cruiser bikes with high handlebars and a rack at the back to carry any bathing gear you might with to bring with you. And on the company’s longer tours outside of the city center, they use 21-speed hybrid or mountain bikes – depending on the nature of the tour.
