Getting Back in the Saddle

If you haven't ridden a bike for a while - who knows, maybe never - it can seem a pretty intimidating step to make. But don't worry, you can keep it simple. Here are some thoughts on kit, to get you started.

Here are some pieces of kit we think are ideal for reacclimatising to cycling - and you'll look so good nobody will notice the odd wobble!
