What to expect
Expect a steady-paced exploration of central Madrid's must-see landmarks linked by smooth, designated cycling routes. You'll cover significant ground without the chaos of general traffic; the newest redeveloped zones between Plaza de España and the Senate House showcase how the city prioritises cyclists. The guide points out historical details and lesser-known murals as you pedal through neighbourhoods locals actually frequent. It's leisurely rather than athletic—e-bikes handle gradients, so fitness is moderate, not extreme.
