Get on your bike, Nottingham told

People in Nottingham are being urged to get on their bike to save the environment as the annual Greenweeks campaign begins this weekend.

Three weeks of events and awareness-raising schemes will be held from May 23rd to June 14th, with local people aiming to reduce their carbon footprint.

A number of organised bike rides will be held, run by Transition West Bridgford, which aim to inspire people to take up cycling.

Karina Wells, from the organisation, said: “Cycling ticks a lot of boxes – it is healthy, it is very easy, it’s not too expensive to get a bike and you can make quite long distances in a short time.”

At no extra cost, it includes new-for-old replacement, cover for accidental damage, third party insurance, personal accident cover and if you breakdown, we will even come out and recover you and your bike.
