TRANSPORT chiefs are hoping a scheme designed to encourage more people to get on their bike will build on a successful weekend.
More than 20 people took to the saddle on Sunday for Darlington Borough Council's second guided cycle ride, as part of its Pedal Power programme. Riders of all ages and abilities joined the event, which took in the back roads around Darlington and Heighington.
The Pedal Power initiative continues next month with a family "green lanes" ride on Thursday, June 2.
Starting from the Dolphin Centre at 11am, the ride is aimed at improving the confidence of parents and children.
Future events will include an evening ride to Walworth Gate and a treasure trail in Darlington.
