---------------- Guide to Group Riding --------------
Welcome to Aylesbury Cycling UK, whether you‘ve already ridden with us or are new we hope this guide will be useful to you.
Cycling is largely common sense, but here are a few basics.
Check your bike over the night before for punctures and ensure it is functioning correctly, especially the brakes. If you haven’t ridden your bike for a long time or are borrowing one, give it a short ride to make sure it is OK with the saddle at the right height for you. (legs should be able to extend well but not quite fully, avoid the low bent leg BMX style!
Have at least one spare tube. The tyre size is on the side of the tyre. (700c x width and 26 x width are common sizes)
Bring a drink, wear suitable clothes and bring a waterproof. Also some money for refreshments and your phone with your emergency information on the lock screen.
Helmets are recommended but not compulsory.
If you are new, let the leader know.
Keep a safe distance from other riders, you can ride two abreast, but if a car wants to overtake, you may need to drop back to single file. Somebody normally calls out if there is a car.
Let people know when you overtake, when stopping keep well into the side or off the road and avoid stopping at junctions. Try not to stop suddenly unless you know there is nobody close to you. Also don’t cut across other riders,
If you see walkers, runners or horses in the road. Give plenty of space and if nobody has called out shout walker etc. With horses it is important that somebody in the group says hello to the rider before you pass so that the horse is not spooked. The leader will normally do this.
Don't automatically trust cars at traffic lights, roundabouts and at junctions. Keep aware!
Point at obstacles like potholes so others will know.
If you are finding the ride hard or have any problem, let the leader or somebody know, so the pace can slow down.
Unless you are an experienced cyclist, for your first ride try the Newcomers, then if you want to do a bit more, try the next level. (Easy Pace, Step Up and Moderate) That way you can find a level that suits you.
We also meet socially on Wednesday evenings at the Kings Head Aylesbury at 7:30 p.m. so you can always come along and chat to other riders about our rides before you start or just meet others.
