Cycle Trainers Needed!
Pedal Ready have just won contracts to increase their training around South Yorkshire and we'd like to hear from potential new instructors.
You'll need to be a keen cyclist who uses a bike as transport of choice, and you should have an interest in passing on real urban cycling skills in a positive way to adults and children.
You'll need to go on a Bikeabilty training course (4 days) for which we
have been granted funding (ie it will be free for you). You'll also
need to be ready to support the Pedal Ready cooperative in any way you
can, as this is going to be a very busy year! Your reward will be a
fantastic job with supportive colleagues earning a self employed income
of 11.00 an hour.
We have also just secured funding for a Sheffield based training
course, which we hope will make it easier for carers of young children
to train as instructors. We're aiming to put on this course in April,
so the sooner you apply the better.

Tram-Assisted Bike Rides now funded by CTC
Steve Marsden, our new CTC Cycling Development Officer for South Yorkshire, has gained agreement to make up any shortfall in cost for the Supertram Specials from March 2008 onwards.
Hope to see lots of you enjoying and supporting the Cyclists' Special on March 30th.
(p.s. If you need to drive your bikes to Cathedral to take part in this event, see this map for parking. However, please cycle if you can - traffic is light in Sheffield City Centre on sunday morning and we'd like to keep it that way!)
CTC & Pedal Pushers have reached agreement with Sheffield Supertram to put on "Cyclists' Specials" from the Cathedral to Waterthorpe (Rother Valley) on the last Sunday of each month.
We have agreed £5 return for a cyclist and their bike (Tandems £10 as there are 2 people involved). Pay on the tram.
There will be a series of short, 5 miles-ish, led rides around Rother Valley for those using the tram-assist - or you can set off by yourself for a longer ride.
The confirmed dates for the specials for 2008 are as follows:
30th March 2008 (to Middlewood for Wharncliffe Woods)
27th April
25th May
22nd June (Bike Week Special)
More to come - See you all there!
