AS WELL as encouraging pupils to cycle to school during Bike to School Week four free instructor training courses are to take place during 2009.

The courses will train about 120 cycle instructors to work with Year 5 and Year 6 pupils both in Cheshire West and Chester and Cheshire East schools.

The Let’s Bike initiative aims to promote safer cycling in a safe environment, preparing young people to ride on the road.

Let’s Bike is a partnership between Cheshire West and Chester and Cheshire East, schools, parents, instructors and young riders.
