We’re ready to wake up from our lockdown slumber, but what does that mean? Should we, Ridelines, just pile into the forests on our bikes because we can? We don’t think so. As a business that takes your safety and the quality of our products seriously, we have to think a little smarter. Mountain biking is a non-contact sport, but we have to engage with our learners on many levels to ensure quality and sometimes to enforce proper instruction. Under normal circumstances this would mean physical contact. But these are not normal times.  Thats why with the utmost thought to your safety, you ..read more

This applies to us all, but we realise that there is a group of people on the frontline that are dealing with COVID-19 on a level that most of us will be forever shielded from. The committed and seemingly unflappable workers of our National Health Service. Not a discount, but a totally FREE session. We are a relativ ..read more

5 Reasons You Should Get Mountain Bike Skills Coaching? Ok, yes we’re a bit bias, but we really think that one of the first upgrades you should get for your bike is a skills coaching session. Imagine spending £1000’s on a bike and just wheeling it out onto the trails with zero knowledge of the potential you can unleash from it. Let alone the complex geometry, how it effects the ride and how to work all the levers and knobs that come with it. We have decades of experience in getting the best from bikes and riders. So in no particular order here’s 5 reasons that we think you’d most likely ..read more

Why orange jerseys and why still orange jerseys? A few times this summer folk have mentioned our New Jersey. All very positive comments for which we’re grateful. Every few years or so we have a refresh and 2022 was no exception. After more than a decade as Ridelines, we’ve had five different iterations of our instructor jersey.  There’s been a constant feature present through all of these designs, that being of course the colour orange. We’ve had a few different shades and few different levels of coverage and in different placements, but we’ve pretty much owned it whatever we’ve settle ..read more
