#kitfit
The Kitfit community is all about sharing proven combinations of kit that work for you, the places/conditions you ride in and the people you ride with.
It all started with our instagram feed @kitfitcycling
So how do you get featured on @kitfitcycling
We do not accept payment for posts, so you will need to get our attention. Here are some tips to follow when posting on Instagram:
1. Use the hashtag #kitfit when you post cycling content
2. Tag the rider, the photographer and the other brands featured in the photo.
3. Tag @kitfitcycling on your photo and #kitfitcycling will also help
4. Add as many relevant hashtags as you can that will support the brands and activities in the post. E.g #yourhelmetbrand #yourshoebrand #yourkitbrand #yoursockbrand #yourbikebrand then more cycling specific and activity specific hashtags like #explorenewroads #foreverbuttphotos #sockdoping #lightbro #wymtm
POST EXAMPLES
The #kitfit action shot
This is where it all begins, taking pics of riders ripping up their local hot-mix in proven kit. Get an action shot next time you’re out for a ride. PRO TIP: Socks up, sunglass arms over your cycling helmet strap and DON"T FORGET CREDIT with a @tag for the rider and photographer #kitfit #outsideisfree #cyclinglife
#KitPREPSTATION
What are you prepping for? A bunch ride, training session, crit race, OS trip or challenging weather conditions? Prepping before your ride can be the difference between enjoying your ride or suffering through it without a key item of kit. PRO TIP: Do it the day before, so prep time doesn't eat into your ride time. #kitfit #kitprepstation #cyclingkit #kitdoping
#explorenewroads & Destinations
Just come back from an amazing trip, or have you discovered a cool new road in your own backyard? We want to know about it. PRO TIP: Try and get yourself or another rider in the picture to give it some context and remember to tag the location, even if you just give us a hint of the general region #explorenewroads
Pro (mad) Skills
Ok so you have got some nice kit, and you know how to look like a pro in it thanks to tips from your #kitfit mates ;), but do you have the skills to match? Just perfected your track stand or have a mate who can pop a mad front wheel mono? We want to see the proof. PRO TIP: Go for the full leg shave and brandish those #calvesofsteel #prohours
The Bunch Ride
Most cyclists have a little bit of the loner gene, it's how we can handle those long solo training sessions. But let's face it, the most fun you'll have on your bike is with your mates on a bunch ride. PRO TIP: @tag your mates and their kit, but most importantly put safety first. You want your caffeine fix from your favourite coffee shop, not the hospital cafeteria. #bunchride
Braving the Elements
You did all the appropriate kit preparation and mustered up the courage to get out for a ride in those extreme conditions. Make sure you capture the proof and share your experience, we want to know what worked and what you could improve on for next time. PRO TIP: Rain, wind or snow? Tag the conditions, temperature, wind speed and location of your ride. #snowcycling #raincycling #windcycling
Club & Team Shots
Local clubs and cycling teams are the heart of the cycling community. They provide the structure and support needed to develop knowledgeable & capable riders who represent the future of our sport. Out on a local club ride? Or see your local team/club rolling by? Grab a pic and share the love. #cyclingclub
Off On An Adventure
Taking on an epic challenge? Raising money for charity? Or off on a unique adventure? Don't forget to share it with the rest of us still stuck in the 9-5 grind, we all thrive off inspiration. PRO TIP: It doesn’t take too much extra planning to pack a lightweight tripodand learn how to work your auto shot feature. #cyclingadventures #bikepacking #adventurecycling
Photoshop A Flatlay
Don't have a good camera or photo of yourself riding in your kit? Jump onto your favourite photo app and create your own #flatlay from product shots. PRO TIP: It doesn't always have to be of kit you own. Create your ultimate race day aero kit, wet weather kit or early morning high-vis commute kit. #kitfit #kitprep #flatlay
