Beginner bike sessions to start on Sat 02/03

/

We are starting the beginner bike sessions on Saturday 02/03 in Phoenix Park, coached by Sean Farrell! If you are new to cycling and would like to learn more, make sure to join.

Each session is weather dependent and we will update you the evening before should we need to reschedule or cancel.

ALL participants must be a club member.

Please bring:

  • a bike - any bike in good working condition is fine, it does not have to be a roadbike!

  • A helmet

  • Warm clothing, such as beanie hats under helmet, gloves, base layer, jackets etc. If you dont have cycling shorts/tights, use a warm tracksuit bottom. We could be standing talking/discussing for periods!

  • Any pedal type, clip in or toe clip or flat pedal

  • Runners for everyone. The drills are best with runners even if on clip in pedals (prevents non clip out falls !)
