Just received this from those kind folks at TravelWise Merseyside via my email, thought you'd like to know.
Hi there,
Those friendly sustainable transport people at Sustrans are running a competition, giving away a child's bike in time for Christmas. The competition closes at midnight on Sunday 9 December.
All you have to do is ask your child, grandchild, neice, nephew etc to describe in no more than 25 words, why they would like a new bike for Christmas.
Visit the website for further details - Sustrans child's bike competition
Don't forget, free bike maintenance courses are also running for adults! Each session is 2 hours and you can choose how many you want to go to. Topics cover -
- bike safety and parts
- fixing punctures
- gears
- brakes
Find out more and book your place on the TravelWise website We look forward to seeing you and will have the kettle on ready!
