Little Steps Recommended First Time Route For A Family-Friendly Ride In New Territories:

START/END POINT: University MTR is your best starting point – you can take the MTR or taxi or for those driving, you can easily park at Hyatt Shatin and walk to the University MTR.
WHERE TO GET BIKES: On the backside of the University MTR station is a bike shop. There are kids’ bikes and baby seats (limited) so we always recommend bringing along your own if you have them.
