Is there much difference between "race silver" and " ride"? Do you get the 10% discount at Evans with ther "race Slver" don't see this listed as one of the benfits of it, but does get mentioned with the "ride" option

  • Yes, with the Race memberships you get all the benefits of 'Ride' and 'Fan'

    The extra benefits of the silver race membership are ‘as well as’ the existing benefits with the other memberships.
  • Do people with memberships find use from them?

    Insurance and a discount at Evans etc sound good, but are they worth the money each month?

    I've been sent an offer for a free set of lights if I become a member and I am weighing up the cost benefits of doing it
  • At 30something quid for "ride" it gives me (and wifey) the comfort that I'm somewhat insured.

    It also gives me ammunition when the village facebook group start on about cyclists, "road tax" and insurance.

    As long as you don't crash into another BC rider.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Probably the best reason to be fair
