Cycle Helmets

Bike Check

Cycle helmets must be worn at all times while riding. Please ensure yours is properly fitted before starting any lesson.

If in doubt, check the page in your folder which shows you the correct way of fitting your helmet and check it in a mirror before setting off.

Check for a straight fitting, not too loose and not too tight.

Always clean and check over your bike after each ride and again the day before your next ride. The main points to check are :

  • brakes function properly and are not worn
  • no twigs or grass or mud is blocking the chain, rear or front mechs
  • handlebars are not loose
  • saddle is at the correct height and is not loose
  • tyres at correct pressure

Clothing

Safety

Make sure you wear clothing that is appropriate to the weather condtions on the day. Link to metcheck.com for the latest weather.

Do not let shoe-laces catch in the chain (tuck them away inside your shoe) and try and avoid wearing long, baggy trousers. If you have to, wear ankle grippers or tuck them inside your socks.

 

All members and their parents must adhere to the Rules set out on the Rules page. This will ensure we all enjoy our cycling in a safe environment.

Parents/Guardians - please remember to collect your child(ren) at the appropriate time after each session. If in doubt about timings, please call the Club mobile on 07941 - 137968. Your child depends on you to be there on time.
