Also it is a good idea to go to the rides pages and contact the ride leader beforehand to let him\/her know that you are thinking of joining the ride.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to join Fleet Cycling<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Just become a member of Cycling UK to enjoy weekly medium paced cycle rides with us, of 20 to 60 miles on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyclinguk.org\/join\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Join Cycling UK here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Helmets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We strongly recommend that all cyclists who join our rides should wear helmets. In total, our riders cycle tens of thousands of miles each year. We take great care, but sadly and inevitably there have been a few significant crashes. In the summer of 2022 one of our riders went down on a patch of gravel, and another crashed into him. Both hit the ground hard and both helmets were badly damaged. All those present were in no doubt that the helmets saved major injuries or even fatalities.<\/p>\n<p>Fleet Cycling respects everyone\u2019s right to choose whether or not to wear a helmet, as per Cycling UK's guidance. However we also feel that we must respect the rights of those ride leaders and participants unwilling to expose themselves to the potential mental trauma of witnessing a serious head injury. Hence our ride leader guidance is that a leader can recuse him or herself if a rider shows up without a helmet. The group can then either nominate another (trained) ride leader if that person is willing, or set off as a \u2018group of friends\u2019 which is then not cycling under the auspices of Fleet Cycling. Of course any other riders may also elect not to join the ride.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are the benefits of Cycling UK membership?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cycling UK insurance, to protect you from a claim by a third party either on or off road worldwide (except USA and Canada).<\/li>\n<li>Free legal advice in the event of an accident.<\/li>\n<li>Access to rides with any Cycling UK group in the UK.<\/li>\n<li>Discounts on bikes and accessories through commercial partners, for instance, 10% discount at Pedal Heaven, Wiggle, and Evans.<\/li>\n<li>Bi-monthly 'Cycle' awarding winning magazine with a comprehensive insight into the world of cycling.<\/li>\n<li>Access to Cycling UK holidays and tours.<\/li>\n<li>Weekly e-newsletter, 'Cycleclips' - a light-hearted round-up of news and events.<\/li>\n<li>Access to a comprehensive <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyclinguk.org\/ride\/touring-and-expedition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">library of routes<\/a> both in the UK and worldwide<\/li>\n<li>Support for campaigning for local cyclists' rights.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"span3 \"><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><!-- .row (end) -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-home.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2202","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Join Fleet Cycling club in Fleet Hampshire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Join Fleet Cycling in Fleet, Hampshire.
