Cycling advice

Spokes doesn’t specialise in advising on what sort of bike to get, or how to ride it.  There’s a near-infinite number of websites which will do that.  Rather than giving a long list, we show only a few of the very best and most imaginative sites covering a variety of aspects.

Bike maintenance and riding advice – there’s loads online, but this is particularly interesting and useful… www.cyclescheme.co.uk/community/how-to

Folding Bikes AtoB magazine website – also sections on electric bikes, bike trailers and bike/rail

Electric Bikes Electric Bikes Experts – why and how to buy an electric bike.  See also the Spokes e-bikes page.

Helmets Bicycle Helmet Research Foundation – the best site for the pros and cons of using a helmet and of helmet legislation

Green Breakdown Cover Environmental Transport Assn – the greenest breakdown cover for car or bike.

Note – This page just gives links to relevant web resources.  We also have more thorough advice pages under documents – advice for other topics including…

  • crashes
  • bike security
  • considerate cycling
  • domestic bike storage
  • commuting with kids
