A good place to start
Choose a route for its distance, surface and crossings rather than relying only on a line on a map.
What to compare
- Surface
- Route length and return options
Start with a taster
Ask for a beginner session and find out what equipment you can borrow. Afterwards, think about the teaching, atmosphere and journey as well as the activity itself. The best routine is one you enjoy returning to.
Something else to discover
BMX
Bike parks and BMX facilities offer purpose-built riding features rather than an ordinary cycle route.
Handbiking
Handcycling uses a cycle powered through the arms, with recreational and sporting formats.
