Cycling to job interviews

[Matthames]

I have a job interview coming up next week, however this is for a job as a professional cyclist so I will need to have my bike with me to show off my skillz as part of the interview process.

Just wondering if anybody has any thoughts in what I should wear to give the right impression?

Pray tell what is a professional cyclist?

I've heard of a trick cyclist before, but that's just a play on words.,.......

Could your phone them up and just ask? Would you be wearing lycras or something? I wouldn't want to wear a suit on the bike, and I wouldn't want to wear lycras to a job interview . Maybe ask if they have facilities to change for any bicycle parts and dress smartly for the rest?

 

[Panter]

Depends what job it is, as above...

If it's a pro MTB instructor then turing up in full Team kit lycra may not be the best choice

It is a no brainer aint it...?
You wear what you hopefully will wear as a rider working professionally...
No point going to be a eg 'messenger' or whatever in a pin stripe suit and cravat is there?
Make sure your kit is clean and smart however and also your presentation and demeanour as well.
and dont take any shoot...

It is the complete opposite of a hobbyal cyclist, bud

 

[Matthames]

It is for a job as a bike-ability instructor.

 

[Panter]

Ah, tricky.
I'd give them a call then and ask, personally.

In old fart street talk....Brush up yo BMX skills, yoof?

Doesn't matter. They'll only be seeing how loud you can shout at children.

Only one choice, formal yet pracical !

Have they definitely said that you will have a practical element to the interview? I think I would want to dress fairly smartly for an interview, maybe they would look at your skills at a later date if you passed the formal interview.

(Easiest way may be ring up and ask them)

I agree with the phone up and ask advice. One of the trite little phrases I came across on a training course actually applies to this - "The silliest question is the one you don't ask".

I hope the OP is better at cycling than communicating as he still hasn't replied to all of us who've kindly posted advice after his request at 11.55 today .
