To boost your cycling ambitions and acquire affordable cycling kit, Kat (Kidical Mass spokesperson), recommends the heroes at Reading Bicycle Kitchen who refurbish second hand bikes.

When teaching don’t worry that you’ve bitten off more than you can chew. It’s best to start with a balance bike (or take the pedals off a bigger bike) and practice scooting around like an aerodynamic star. Mix pedalling in after they have mastered steering the bike.

Get your school signed up to the bikeability program, teaching skills for on road cycling, via the smarties at Avanti Cycling Trust.

Bring your kid along to our rides to have fun and campaign for quality streets with safe cycling infrastructure.
