BEFORE SETTING OFF

> It’s well worth giving your bike a quick once-over before setting off, check your gears and brakes are in good condition, your tyres are pumped up properly and if you’re going out at night that your lights work. > Check the weather before setting off and dress accordingly. > Check that the route is suitable for you and your party. > If possible let someone know where you are going and make FISHERMEN & sure that you carry a fully charged mobile phone. SHIPS > Carrying a small cycle toolkit and puncture repair kit can save a 12 miles (19km) long walk home if something goes wrong. > If you’re going on a longer ride then carrying a drink and an energy snack is advisable
