Janine GriffithsFamilies in East Leeds are being invited to take part in a free cycling event at Harehills Park, offering the chance to learn new bike skills alongside expert coaches.
The family-friendly session will take place at Harehills Park on Thursday 25 June from 3pm to 5pm, with participants asked to meet at the tennis courts.
The event will feature bike skills coaching by experts from British Cycling and Active Leeds. Both male and female coaches will be on hand to support participants.
Adults and children will be able to learn to ride together, with organisers encouraging families to take part as a group. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
People attending can bring their own bike or borrow one on the day.
As well as developing cycling skills, the event will give local residents the opportunity to help design a new learn-to-ride area for Harehills Park.
The session is being supported by British Cycling, Active Leeds and We Belong Here.
