Good advice for road cycling

We’ve put together some good advice for people who would like to try road cycling.

How to get started

• Find your motivation to cycle
• Begin with some shorter rides a couple of times a week
• Set yourself some targets for your training
• Find someone to ride together with (you might like to join a cycling club)
• Remember to maintain your equipment properly
• Maintain the traffic rules

Equipment

• A good bike - buy a good frame, so you can regularly replace the parts
• Always use a helmet
• Use padded cycling tights - they will make your bike ride more comfortable
• Have a spare tube or tyre repair kit with you in case of an accident
• Tyre levers, pump and multi-tool are also necessities.
• Water bottle so you don't dehydrate
