Come along to a Team Glow bike ride

_
  • For your first introductory rides, any roadworthy bike is fine. Child seats, basket and chunky tyres are okay for this stage in your cycling career.
  • eBikes are also welcome.
  • Non-members are invited to come along for a couple of rides before joining .
  • Ride sensibly and observe the Highway Code - just common sense.  We want everyone to have a good time and be safe.
  • In the winter, fit mudguards - keeps both you and anyone near you clean!
  • Carry ID with you.
  • We ask riders to wear a helmet.
  • Team Glow has Cycling UK Insurance cover for ride leaders - this covers our ride leaders in case of a claim arising from our own negligence. A ride leader who wants to rely on the insurance must be a paid member.
  • You are assumed to have agreed to our terms and conditions.  You can download a copy from the Membership page.

Prepare Yourself

  • Thin layers are better than one thick one;
  • Waterproof/wind proof jacket
  • If you can, avoid using a rucksack - they can unbalance you
  • Eat breakfast
  • Bring a snack for the ride
  • Bring a drink
  • It is useful to have a card with name with emergency numbers (just in case!)
  • Wear a helmet
  • Think about taking out liability insurance

Prepare Your Bike

  • Make sure your bike is roadworthy - this means the bike must be completely safe for use: chain oiled, brakes working well and tyres checked
  • Inflate your tyres
  • In the winter bring lights and use mudguards
  • Bring a pump and repair kit e.g. spare inner tubes
