We had a fantastic ride. The coastal scenery was stunning. Whilst there was some traffic as it is a popular touring route for motorcyclists, it wasn't a problem. The drivers were generally very courteous towards cyclists. The accommodation was fantastic and in the perfect locations. The feedback we could give would be around pre-trip information regarding the e-bikes we were hiring. Specifically around the capacity of the batteries and comfort seats. As there is a lot of steep terrain to cover, we wanted to be sure the bikes would handle it. Also, the app information came in last minute whilst we were already in transit. It would have been great to have had that before we left home. These would be simple issues to resolve. We didn't ride the optional extra parts of the ride as we found there was a lot of other exploring to do. Corsica was absolutely amazing - we would highly recommend the trip.
