YOUNGSTERS can use the Easter holidays to brush up on their cycling skills.

Bexley Council's road safety unit will be running three free cycling courses each day from April 3 to April 7.

To take part, children must be aged at least 10, have their own road-worthy bicycle and wear a cycle helmet during the training sessions.

As most of the training will be on public roads, high-visibility clothing is also advised.

The courses will be held at Hurstmere School, Hurst Road, Sidcup, from 10am to noon and 2pm to 4pm and at Erith School, Avenue Road, Erith, from 2pm to 4pm.

Places must be booked. Call 020 8303 7753 or email roadsafetyeducation@bexley.gov.uk
