November news round up
Welcome to the latest Bike Worcester news round up! First, some news…
Rosa (7) on the new pump track in Battenhall Park
The first Worcester City pump track opens in Battenhall Park - as the first weekend of the new pump track closes, it’s safe to say the new pump track is a massive hit with Worcester residents. Read more on the track opening, and a bit of the history in our letter to Worcester City Council PED committee earlier this year.
Cherry Orchard Bike Bus
NEW BIKE BUS KLAXON - Families at Cherry Orchard Primary School have set up the latest Worcester Bike Bus, with support from their local councillors and Bike Worcester volunteers. There is now a Bike Bus in 50% of Primary schools in Worcester. We want more schools, and we need more volunteers! Let’s do this.
Work continues on setting up Worcester to host the Bike Bus Summit - if you’d like to get involved, please get in touch!
