Getting Started

What your junior needs

A quick guide to our minimum requirements and the kit your junior needs before their first session.

Minimum requirements to take part

All we ask is that your child can ride a bike before they come to cycle training. We’re unable to provide learn-to-ride lessons, due to the nature of our training groups and coach availability.

Kit List

What kit does your junior need?

You don’t need anything fancy to get started — just the essentials below.

Run Club

  • Running shoes
  • A drinks bottle
  • Layers appropriate to the weather

Cycling Club

  • Any bike with gears that’s serviceable (brakes working, tyres inflated)
  • Helmet, in good condition with no dents
  • Gloves
  • Sleeves, in case of a fall, to avoid skin burn
