Technical features to look out for:

As well as steep ascents and descents and jumps there are various technical features on the course that the competitors have to tackle:

Rock gardens – a series of rocks that are very hard to ride over. Good technical skill is needed.

Drop-offs - a sudden drop down on the trail – watch the riders shift their body position to get down them

Berms – a rounded corner or curve in the trail with a steep side which riders will approach at speed.

Roots – tree roots can be awkward to ride over, especially if they are wet and slippery.

Rising fuel prices due to the Iran War are putting increasing pressure on family budgets across the UK.

If you're feeling the pinch at the petrol pump, it might be time to consider whether every journey actually needs a car.

For many families, the school run and short local trips are well within cycling range - and with the right bike or cargo bike, they're often quicker and more enjoyable too.

Whether it's a kids' bike for an independent ride to school, or a cargo bike that replaces the car for the daily drop-off, we've got everything you need to help your family make the switch.
