Recommended:

It is HIGHLY recommended you bring an extra tube for your bike, as well as a bike tool and bike tire levers. - SheShreds is a "no drop group" and we will help you as much as possible if you have a mechanical issue. It is good practice to be self-sufficient.
Clips are not ideal for our lesson format. Flat pedals are strongly recommended.
Gloves and glasses are highly recommended for protecting your hands and your eyes.
Chamois (bike underwear) is also a highly highly highly recommended investment.

WINTER

In addition to all of the above, it is recommended to wear weather appropriate clothing. Baselayers, ski socks, layers that breathe. Dress for being active, not for the parking lot/standing around.
Gloves with fingers (not mittens) are recommended to operate the bike (brakes, gear shifters).
Ski goggles are preferred over sunglasses by some folks
A thermos of tea is also highly underrated!

LIGHTS

If you are riding at dawn/dusk or at night, lights become a necessity. This is our recommendations:

Rear light

Helmet light

Handlear light
