Advice

It is hoped that this annotated list of resources is useful to those who ask the club's advice, especially about choice of bikes. For many of our rides, a hybrid is the best choice as we may travel on paths, gravel and roadways, and hybrids offer the best stability over these varying surfaces. A lot of our members also own road (racing style) bikes but these need a good surface and level of control.

You are most welcome to attend any of our meetings to seek help from experienced members about your choice of bike. Alec may even lend you one of the many in his collection to try out!
