Swales gets on his bike
September 1, 2010 12:00 AM
MP for Redcar, Ian Swales will be joining a fundraising bike ride on Saturday 4th September. The event is one of around 50 'Fresh Air Miles' events taking place across the country to celebrate15 years of the National Cycle Network.
The event is being hosted by leading UK charity Sustrans who help people to make smarter, healthier, cleaner and cheaper travel choices. Sustrans work with families, communities and partner organisations so that people really do have options.
Ian Swales will be joining Philip Chisholm who is Sustrans' volunteer liaison ranger in Redcar on the bike ride. It will start from Saltburn Allotments/Howard Drive, Marske at 2pm and he will ride to the old Council Cargo Fleet Offices in South Bank. All are welcome to join in on the ride and Ian hopes to see a lot of local people get involved.
Ian said "I am looking forward to taking part in the bike ride, it's been a while since I was on a bicycle but its all good fun and for a good cause. I hope to have the chance to see the constituency from a different perspective and I am sure it will provide me with the opportunity to see where we could improve the green transport routes around Redcar and Cleveland. Cycling is a great form of exercise, made all the more enjoyable by the many beautiful, scenic routes available to peddle around across Redcar and Cleveland.''

For anybody who cannot join Ian on Saturday, but do want to get involved there is another bike ride taking place on Sunday 5th starting on Majuba road in Redcar at 10.30am.
