SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

Visiting Cambridge

Hi!

I will travel to Cambridge on May 29th from abroad (Austria). As I love biking, I thought about joining you for your night ride. Is that possible? If yes, can you recommend a place where I could rent a suitable bike.

Cheers,
Rainer.

Re: Visiting Cambridge

Hi Rainer,
Not sure where exactly you an rent something of quality BUT, Bowes and co usually have a reasonable bike for sale (depends if Eco is trying to off load some ill conceived machine)that you might be able to hire for a day or so but with a effective deposit. http://www.bowesandco.co.uk/
what height are you?
