WOMEN are being encouraged to get back on their bikes.

Kirklees Council is running a female cycle training course.

The sessions aim to improve the confidence and riding skills of women who haven’t cycled on the road for a long time.

The course takes place from 5.30pm to 7.30pm next Wednesday and Thursday (April 15 and 16) at Greenhead Park.

Participants must bring their own bike and pay a £10 refundable deposit.

Anyone interested in taking part can book a place by calling Graham Bretherick on 01484 221 162 or by emailing Graham.bretherick@kirklees.gov.uk
