Safety
Our bikeathons are always a fun day out, however as many take place on the open roads with normal traffic, cyclist safety is of the highest importance for the wellbeing of all entrants.
 |  | Every year we have the support of St John Ambulance to ensure our participants receive the best support and treatment if needed. |
"Over the years we have treated a number of minor injuries and ailments. Our advice is to prepare for the ride, if its a hot sunny day make sure you apply and re-apply plenty of sun cream and whatever the weather, make sure you are dressed appropriately."
- Clive James, St John Ambulance official.
