If they could get good point to point it may be doable. It is easy to get lost on a bike in a strange city. I was out in LA once (on an Atlantis - Riv Content ;) completely lost. It seemed I should have been near my destination, but something was wrong. Finally dawned on me: Big body of water in LA is to the west, not east of the city. I was heading south but thought I was going north.
