Christmas Holidays

it’s all pretty quiet on the Bike It front with schools being out for their Christmas holidays and even people in the offices disappearing for their Christmas breaks too. Bit of a quiet end of term too with lots of activities being cancelled because of the weather, but never fear, there are lots of exciting activities and events [...]

Oh Snow!

Holiday Time

First week of the summer holidays and the pace of things seems to have slowed down a little finally! Its been such a great term with lots of activities going on across the city, but definitely not much chance to catch your breath. End of term also means meetings with different sustrans teams; this time [...]
