Preparing for your First Ride

You are ultimately responsible for your own safety (i.e. check the road is clear yourself!)

Always wear a helmet

Wear bright colours and dress appropriately for the weather

Bring a repair kit (we’ll always wait and help you to fix a puncture, but please come prepared)

Make sure your bike is safe. (club members get discounts at Pedal Power and Behind Bars)

Bring lights when visibility is poor

Let your ride leader know if you have to leave

Be prepared to provide your contact details on your first ride

Over 16’s only please. All 16-18 year olds must be accompanied by a responsible adult

Follow the Highway Code

We recommend getting Cycle Touring Campaign (CTC) or British Cycling insurance.
