Cycling made Simple #1: How to start cycling
We are excited to introduce a new cycling series, Cycling Made Simple by CIOVITA. Hosted by CIOVITA Connect.
This series is created to help make cycling feel approachable, clear, and welcoming, whether you are completely new, returning after time away, or simply looking to feel more confident on the bike.
Session #1- How to start cycling
In our first session, we cover everything you need to know to begin cycling with confidence.
Topics include:
Bike types and how to choose the right one
What to look for when buying a bike
Discomfort, what is normal and how to avoid pain
How far and how long to ride as a beginner
Essential cycling gear and what you can skip
Common beginner mistakes and how to avoid them
There will be plenty of time for questions throughout the session.
During the evening, snacks and drinks will be provided.
About Cycling Made Simple by CIOVITA
Cycling Made Simple by CIOVITA is designed to support people from the very first steps of their cycling journey and beyond. It offers guidance before you ever clip in and continues as your confidence grows, both on and off the bike.
The series is ideal for beginners, those returning to cycling, or anyone who has never cycled before and wants to feel more comfortable, informed, and supported.
The full series includes four sessions
26th of Feb - How to start cycling
28th of Mar - How to ride in a group
16th of Apr - How to climb and descend
30th of Apr - How to fix simple mechanics on the road
Each session requires individual sign up. If you complete 3 out of 4 sessions, you will receive a merino jersey from CIOVITA as a gift!
Parts two through four will include a practical ride following a theoretical information session, allowing participants to immediately apply what they learn in a supportive group setting.
We look forward to riding together, learning together, and growing with you. See you soon!
