A SWTC spokesperson said, “it is great to be working collaboratively with our UDC colleagues to provide this free family fun event for all to enjoy in the half term holiday” – An UDC spokesperson added, “We hope this will complement our bike schemes across Saffron Walden and encourage more people to get back on their bikes and try using a cargo bike. The benefits of cycling extend beyond reducing emissions and car use but also helps to increase physical activity levels as well as boost your mood.”
