KENYA · GUIDE 0698 · EDITION 4.2
Community cycling tours in Kenya
Coordinate community cycling tours with route suitability and competent ride leadership.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional ride: a 90-minute introduction for four adults who can already ride independently, using their own inspected bicycles on a permitted forest trail. Include a short handling check, a paced out-and-back route and two regroup stops. This is not a beginner cycling lesson, road race, mountain-bike skills clinic or medical fitness assessment. Participants provide suitable helmets and bicycles, unless a separately quoted rental provider supplies them. Confirm the site's commercial-guiding and cycling rules before promoting a departure.
Who is the first customer?
