POTENTIAL recruits are being urged to get in gear to help Darlington youngsters learn to ride their bikes safely.
An initiative developed by Darlington Borough Council aims to teach children to be safe and sensible when cycling on the road.
But to stay on course for a summer start date, more cycling instructors are needed.
Norma Sheppard, the council's road safety officer, said: "We are looking for people who are competent cyclists and that have a good rapport with children. The aim is to teach them about cycling in modern traffic conditions."
Training and cycling equipment will be provided for any prospective instructors who come forward.
Courses are due to start in June and run for the second half of the summer term for seven weeks.
