The only thing I will say is that at 4am folks cycling back from the pub should stick their lights on! The hotel bikes we used where tough machines, like a hybrid but more MTB bike. At the hotel too was the starting point for some cycle race, with the teams staying at the hotel. It's a strange felling cars stopping to let you out, people sitiing behind you on narrow roads and not being left (or right in their case) hooked.
