Young riders train free

Northants Police is giving away free places for young riders on its BikeKraft rider training day this weekend.

The Young Rider Experience day is designed for people between 16 and 24 years of age with the hope of improving their skills on a bike or scooter to make them safer on the road.

40 places are up for grabs for the event, which takes place at Northampton Town Football Club’s Sixfields Stadium in Northampton on Sunday July 4. To qualify for a free place you have to live in Northants and be able to ride your own bike to the stadium.

Places are being given out on a first-come first-served basis so contact Nicole Short on 01604 237521 or e-mail nshort@northamptonshire.gov.uk to be sure of a place.
