Physio Clinic London is proud to be a corporate sponsor of Bike4KEF 2025.
We’re supporting the incredible work of KEF Kids, a London-based charity that provides vital support to children and young adults with physical and learning disabilities, along with their families.
Whether you’re cycling 20 miles or 200, a charity bike ride takes preparation—physically, mentally, and logistically. Here are our top tips to help you get ride-ready:
⸻
🚴♂️ 1. Build Up Gradually
• Start training early and increase your mileage week by week.
• Include hills, intervals, and long rides to mimic the event.
• Don’t skip rest days—recovery is key to progress.
⸻
🛠️ 2. Check Your Bike
• Book a service in advance to tune up brakes, gears, and tyres.
• Adjust your saddle and handlebars for comfort and injury prevention.
• Pack essentials: spare tube, pump or CO2, multi-tool, and tyre levers.
⸻
🧃 3. Fuel Properly
• Hydrate well before and during—water and electrolytes are your friends.
• Try your snacks on training rides (bananas, bars, gels) so there are no surprises on the day.
• Eat a balanced, carb-rich meal the night before.
⸻
👕 4. Dress for the Ride
• Invest in padded cycling shorts—you’ll thank us later.
• Layer up: breathable, lightweight kit that suits changing weather.
• High-vis or bright colours help keep you safe and seen.
⸻
🧠 5. Get in the Right Headspace
• Study the route and know where the hills and rest stops are.
• Set a personal goal—whether it’s a time, distance, or just soaking up the atmosphere.
• Enjoy it! Charity rides are about community, support, and doing good.

Good luck to everyone taking part in Bike4KEF 2025—see you at the finish line!
