1. Firstly, measure your inseam, torso, arms, shoulders and feet - to see if you are one of the many women with body proportions different to men.

2. Discuss with you the type of cycling you want to do - now, and in the future. Then we'll look at whether you need a women's specific bicycle which a shorter frame length and a slightly more upright riding position.

3. Look at the need for specific women's components on the bicycle eg narrower handlebars with a shallow reach so that you can reach the brakes and gear levers easily - or perhaps a wider, more comfortable saddle.

4. Introduce you to the concept of clipless pedals - if you like you can try them out on a stationary trainer in the shop.

5. When your bicycle is ready, we'll take great care to fit you properly onto the bike, getting you pedalling under varying loads on a stationery trainer in the shop. This will make you as comfortable and efficient as possible on the bike.
