Cycling and walking charity Sustrans in association with Cambridgeshire County Council are running a Learn to Ride and Doctor Bike day next week. 

The event will be held at All Saints Inter Church Academy in March on Thursday August 29. 

Sustrans has run its successful Bike It programme for the past twelve months in Cambridgeshire and is offering free lessons for primary aged children to learn to ride at the school between 9.30am and 3.30pm.

In addition to and running alongside the sessions will be a Dr Bike clinic where children and parents can have their bikes checked over (Bike MOT) and any small adjustments or repairs carried out, also free of charge.

Bike It officer Steve Clarke said: “This a great opportunity to get your child riding independently and off those stabilisers.

“We can usually get children riding within the hour session and it’s great to see both them and their parents’ excitement at cracking such an important life skill.”

Both the Learn to Ride and Dr Bike sessions need to be booked in advance and if you are interested please contact Steve on steve.clarke@sustrans.org.uk
