STARTING on Friday, January 20, a weekly instructor-led Active Mums Cycle Ride will be held in Crediton, where mum’s, dad’s and grandparents will be welcome to enjoy a social, relaxed and social bike ride.

The eight-session programme, which will meet weekly at 9.30am, will meet at the Bike Shed, Union Road, Crediton, The first session is free but follow-up sessions will cost £2.

The rides will be followed by a coffee and a chat.

All safety equipment will be provided, from high vis vests to cycle helmets. Bikes can be provided but must be pre-booked and free safety checks will be on offer.

Trailers, which are available from birth to five-years, which attach to any bike, hold two passengers and are fully adaptable according to age requirement, will also be available.
