Clothing and Equipment
To prepare for cycling on the road at anytime, it is vitally important that you wear the correct clothing and equipment.
"The best advice we can offer is to make sure you are wearing a helmet.
We cover most of the big cycling events in London and such a simple piece of equipment has saved so many people from suffering a more serious injury over the years. You still need to ride responsibly, but if you are involved in an accident we believe a helmet is a vital piece of personal protective equipment". - Clive James, St John Ambulance.
Injuries sustained by bicycle accidents can be severely reduced by wearing a cycle helmet at all times.
Although it is not compulsory, we strongly recommend that you wear a cycle helmet at all times when cycling. Evans Cycles have a huge range of helmets to suit all sizes and budgets! There will be helmets available for purchasing on the day, however we advise you purchase a helmet prior to the event to wear for everyday cycling.
Please visit our Equipment pages for a thorough list of clothing and accessories you may need when cycling.
