Stop for photo ops of Jama Masjid, tha largest mosque in India, and across the road, the World Heritage-listed Red Fort.

A number of street vendors sell mouthwatering delicacies, although some shops are closed in the early hours. Next stop by the wholesale spice market of Khari Baoli, then pass by the historical Maidens Hotel as you pedal to the Old Delhi Railway Station. Learn about the architecture and importance of the Old Delhi Railway Station upon your arrival there. Finally, roll down the lanes of Chandni Chowk to reach Town Hall.
