Mountain bikeDesigned for off-road cycling with good
manoeuvrability and lots of gears. Knobbly tyres
means pedalling is harder and usually mudguards
and carrier racks are not supplied.
City hybrid bikeLighter, smoother tyres and a modified mountain
bike frame with a more upright riding position and is
especially adapted for urban cycling. This bike
usually comes with mudguards and other utility
fittings and can cope with a wide range of terrains -
a good option for everyday use.

Keep your bike safeRecent studies suggest that only 20% of bike thefts
are reported to the Police. Unlocked bikes are
vulnerable to theft in sheds or garages as well as on
the street. Take the following tips to keep your bike
secure:
register your bike online at www.bikeregister.com
add your bike to your home insurance
take out cycle insurance. Both London Cyclists
Campaign and British Cycling offer free
insurance with membership
take pictures of your bike and record the
frame number
buy a quality D lock
lock your wheel and frame together when
leaving your bike unattended
choose parking places where there are peopleand natural surveillance
take any quick release parts with you e.g.
lights, saddles, wheels
report any theft to police
at home keep your bike out of sight
