We’d recommend wearing close-toed shoes and something comfortable for the ride. Try not to wear anything that would dangle near the chain while pedaling. Imagine you’re riding a regular bike to consider what to wear. Especially on a cooler evening, make sure you bring a sweater or anything else you might need to stay warm.
