COUNCIL workers were told to get on their bikes yesterday in order to win a free breakfast.

Employees of Darlington Borough Council who opted to leave their cars at home were treated to food at Caf Caffae, in the Market Place.

It was all part of National Bike Week, which encourages people to use two wheels instead of four to travel to work.

A series of events are taking place in the town this week, including expert workshops on bike maintenance and sponsored rides.
