Preparing for the lesson

You’ll want to make sure the participant (or you, if it’s your lesson) is:

  • well-rested and well-fed. The lesson takes a fair amount of concentration and energy; these are important factors for success.
  • provided with water/drinks/snacks to keep them hydrated, and keep their energy up (don’t forget some for anyone accompanying them).

What to wear:

  • pants that are close-fitting at the ankles (to keep them out of the bike’s chain), or
  • shorts (if it’s warm) that are reasonably close-fitting; avoid basketball-style shorts with wide legs and a low crotch, as these can catch on the seat.
  • layered tops to adjust for changes in temperature.
  • closed-toed shoes (not sandals) that fit well and are not loose.
  • sunblock, with enough available for reapplying during the lesson.

What we need to know in advance:

  • The rider’s height and inseam, so that we can choose the right bike(s) for the lesson.
