Follow these tips to have a comfortable and enjoyable 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
