We’re not fussy about what bike you ride or what you wear (just so long as it covers up sweat patches…) , what really matters is where you ride. Avoiding large and busy roads for perhaps slightly longer routes through parks or leafy streets.

Likewise your technique is also really important. While the rules of the road may be different where you are to the streets of London where this video was filmed, the techniques are similar. Positioning yourself on the road, staying vigilant and being aware of your surroundings at all times.
