What are the best safety tips for urban cyclists?
Explore practical answers to common cycle commuter questions, designed to guide new riders through urban streets with confidence and ease.
How do I get started?
We’ve put together a great e-book for you to read over. It gives you most of the beginner tips you’ll need to get started.
How do I choose the right bike for commuting?
The best bike when you are starting out, is the one you have access to. It’s about getting out there and seeing if it works for you.
How do I carry my stuff without getting sweaty or uncomfortable?
If you have a backpack, that’s a great option. Otherwise, if you find that uncomfortable, then investing in a set of paniers is the second best option.
What safety gear do I need for commuting?
A helmet is a must, and lights are important too even when riding in daylight hours.
What should I wear when cycling to work??
Wear something comfortable, but appropriate for the weather. You don’t need sports wear, you are cycling to work, not racing!
How do I plan my route?
We have a load of free resources available. Just follow the link to our resources page, and all the info is there.
What rules should I follow when cycling in city traffic?
Always obey traffic signals, use hand signals, and stay aware of pedestrians and vehicles around you.
What happens if I get a flat tyre on the way to work?
Depending on how confident you are, it is advised to carry a small tool set with tyre levers, a spare inner tube and a pump. If you don’t feel confident changing an inner tube, you can ride along a route near a bus route and then hop on if you have a mechanical.
