THE days are getting longer and the spring flowers are in full bloom, so Time 4 Life is encouraging those over 50 to get out on their bicycles and enjoy beautiful scenery.

In co-operaton with OCRA and Adventure Okehampton, Time 4 Life intends to help those who want to get out and about on their bikes, regardless of cycling ability.

The scheme can help by organising and leading various group rides, delivering one-on-one sessions, and offer a 'bike buddy' to those who want some company while they ride.

Sessions are absolutely free and bicycles and helmets can be provided at no charge.

Organisers are also happy to give your own bikes a once-over and make sure they're roadworthy.

To organise a free session, call bike instructor Andy Hambley on 07888 844 226 or e-mail [email protected]">[email protected]
