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.
• 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 too.;
• 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.
  

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!)
  
• 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
