- Ride slowly for the first 10 minutes, gradually increasing your speed as you progress in your ride.
- As a beginner, cycle for 20 minutes and aim to cover about 5km. Slowly increase your distance and speed over time.
- Choose a correct fitting bike that suits your riding needs
- Wear comfortable clothing e.g. Shorts, trainers and t-shirt, not jeans and hiking boots!
- Drink plenty of water and plan your ride
