Yes. If you're bringing clip-in pedals, we'll be happy to install them on your bike (our bikes are equipped with flat pedals). We recommend that riders who plan to use clip-in pedals have prior experience riding this way before the tour.
Bicycle fitting is done on the arrival day of the tour on the bike sized and selected for you, depending on your exact measurements. It is very important to provide us with your current height (measured without shoes) when making your reservation. There will be only one bike per rider at the starting location. Fine fitting and technical briefing for each rider is done by our tour leaders.
One Life provides complimentary airport transfer for all our guests on the official arrival/departure day from and to airports defined for each tour.

No, One Life tours are based to be ridden during daylight only. However, our bikes are equipped with front and tail lights for safety reasons, in order to be well noticed even on bright and sunny days.
On each of our tours, the support van is present and driven by one of our tour leaders. The leader in the van is responsible for your luggage to be safely transported from one accommodation to another, but also for making other preparations regarding your stay and well-being. Please limit your luggage to one medium-sized suitcase and one carry-on.
Our difficulty levels are described and can be referred to in our touring style. Ebikes have a gradual level of assistance and that feature can therefore be used to level out the group's fitness.
We'll do our best to assist you with reservations for pre- and post-trip hotels in the same cities as on a specific tour. Other ways of assistance can be discussed through our official contact mail address.
For more details please refer to our cancellation policy in the Terms & conditions.
Private rooms are available with a single room use supplement.
We aim to find roommates (of the same gender) for all solo travelers that wish so. Therefore we don't charge single-use supplement immediately when you book. If we (or you) are unable to find a roommate until 40 days prior to the trip date, 50% of the single room use supplement will be charged.
Of course. The only previous skill you need is how to ride a regular bicycle. In our technical briefing, we'll be covering the basics of assisted ebike riding from handling controller to tips and tricks for gear changes and battery saving. You can even connect your smartphone to your ebike via Bluetooth in order to have all the diagnostics on your phone screen.
To participate in a scheduled departure, travelers must be age 16 or older. Please note that minors must be accompanied by an adult.
On some tours, riding is daily from A to B staying at a different accommodation, A to A making a loop or the support vehicle taking you to point A or returning you from point B back. In that way, we can create a unique riding experience every day and make the most of the localities. Our lifestyle tours are based in one location for the whole tour duration. That makes lifestyle tours relaxed and more convenient for you to opt in & out from daily rides.
