THE first “Absolute Beginners” bike ride took place from Crediton’s Farmers’ Market on Saturday, April 20.

Six new riders completed the four-mile circular route having fun, meeting new people and learning how to ride safely on the road with confidence.

The riders that went along said that they were motivated and encouraged to ride again.

The next Absolute Beginners ride is tomorrow, Saturday, May 11, from 10am, meeting at the town square.

All adults welcome.

The ride will be to the Beer Engine and back. The Bike Shed has offered to check any bikes before riders leave on the day as well as offer an optional lift back for anyone that feels there and back is too much.
