Bracknell

Bracknell Forest children are invited to put their pedal power to the test by attending a free cycle training course during the Easter holidays.

The course, put on by Bracknell Forest Borough Council, will cover elements of how to cycle safely on the roads, being aware of other road users and to know the highway code when it comes to travelling on two wheels.

Aimed at children from 10-years-old the courses take place at Bracknell Leisure Centre for the week from Monday 3rd April until Friday 7th April from 10 - 12pm and at Edgbarrow Sports Centre from Monday 10th April until Friday 13th April from 10 - 12pm. The meeting place for both course is outside the main reception areas.

Cllr Mrs Mary Ballin, Executive Member for Planning and Transportation at Bracknell Forest Borough Council, said: "This is a very valuable course for all young cyclists as it addresses things which are vital to their safety when on their bicycles.

"It is also a great opportunity for young people to meet new faces and make friends during the week and they will come away having had a great experience and gained lots of knowledge on safe cycling."
