Jean's Ckeck-List.
Don't forget to take with you...
Your good mood.
This is the key to the success of your bike ride. At Jean Connaît Un Rayon, we come with a smile ! Good sense of humor is a must !
A travel backpack.
But what for, you may ask ?
Well, to carry all the things & belongings you need for your trip. To leave nature untouched, Jean will provide you with a paper bag to keep your rubbish in on request. Isn't that great? Great, isn't it ?
Your ID card.
Even if you are riding a motorless bike with a relaxed air and singing "Don't Worry, Be Happy", you must respect the rules of the road. So you should always carry your ID papers, wherever you are.
Rain protection.
A k-way, a poncho, an oilskin, a rain jacket... Whatever you want to call it, it will undoubtedly be very useful in case of bad weather and will prevent you from being soaked like sponge.
Water.
Remember to stay hydrated, especially in hot weather. Water is life. A reusable water bottle instead of a disposable plastic one would be even more appreciated. And if you wish, snacks and lunch boxes will be provided to order (please let us know 48 hours in advance here).
Cap and sun cream.
Your ally in case the sun is blazing down, because yes, in Normandy, it is not uncommon for the sun to show its face.
Your mobile phone.
The mobile phone is first and foremost useful to immortalise the beautiful moments of your excursion with family or friends. And as in everyday life, it can also help you to call us in case of a problem ((+33)7.86.15.48.31). Finally, Jean will provide you with a map of
excursions in the area, which you can now find on the Cirkwi mobile application.
A reflective vest.
In case of reduced visibility, it is necessary to wear a yellow waistcoat in order to be seen and to stay safe, especially in case of dense fog!

I use equipment suitable for cycling
In the event of a fall or accident, the damage will be less severe if you wear good shoes and appropriate covering clothing.
I comply with traffic regulations
Even by bicycle, you use lanes shared with other users and vehicles. It is therefore essential to respect the signs and rules that apply on the road and country lanes.
