A brief advisory talk is given about using the eBikes, which after we have adjusted seats to optimum heights we shall have an initial 5 minute short cycle on Leicester Avenue, a quiet wide residential road so everybody may familiarise themselves and feel confident before we set off.

The tour will explore the art around Margate with a halfway stop at Garage Coffee on the beachfront, overlooking the main bay.

Cycling ability EASY (two hills are encountered and with cycle assist they are easy)

Good road awareness and strict following of The Highway Code is essential for safety.
