== Conditions & Tips ==

* '''Best time:''' Early morning (6–8am) before afternoon heat and coastal wind
* '''Wind:''' The dry season (Jun–Nov) brings strong afternoon winds — headwinds on the return trip westward
* '''Road surface:''' Coastal road is generally paved and in reasonable condition; watch for potholes and speed bumps
* '''Bike hire:''' Rental bikes are available seasonally in Salinas — ask on the malecón; quality varies. Bring your own for reliability.
* '''Safety:''' Share the road with buses and trucks on the main coastal road; use lights if riding at dawn
