What a Bike Week it was!

It's been a fantastically busy Bike Week  - overall we ran 71 events and 69 Bikeability courses in Manchester, Newcastle, Warrington, Merseyside, Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham, Coventry and the Black Country.

Chris Boardman joined Liverpool city councillors for a cycling tour of highway facilities and plans for regeneration in North Liverpool, and how this will affect cyclists and transport in general.

Our mission of creating new cyclists continues, with around 800 'conversions' this week amongst all the children we've trained and a number of adults, including:

- Councillor Claire Glare, Liverpool

 "a big thank you to you and your team for Tuesday and Saturday. I really enjoyed the training and the bike ride and learnt loads!"

- Colin - our star pupil at level 1 session at BikeRight! Birmingham


and John - Learnt to ride last week and now taking part in level 1 training.

 

 

AND BIG CONGRATULATIONS  to seasoned cyclist 10-year old Ed Diamond who completed his football-themed 100-mile Anfield to Albion charity ride, supported by his Mum Annie, and                BikeRight! on Saturday.  Starting out from Anfield Football Club (Ed’s Team) to West Bromwich Albion (Annie’s Team) they raised funds for Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice in Liverpool and Walsall HeartCare                                                                                                                                                   

Wet but finished - Ed and Mum after 100 miles

 Of course, Bike Week wouldn't be Bike Week without some traditional rides. Canals were popular this year in the West Midlands; and Liverpool's canal ride ended up at Crosby Marina. Well done to all the cyclists.
