WOKINGHAM residents enjoyed being told to get on their bikes on Saturday, June 26, thanks to the town council.
It teamed up with My Journey Wokingham to give people a chance to try ebikes from the Shute End car park.
Specialists AW Cycles and Velospeed had a range for people to try out, while youngsters could have a go at balance bikes.
Dr Bike was on hand to offer free bike checks, while clothing, accessories and helmets were on sale.
And people could take part in a bike challenge run by Urban Limits.
A spokesperson for the Wokingham My Journey Team said: “Ebikes are particularly useful for older adults or those with disabilities who need a little help up the hills.
“Using an ebike does not mean being lazy as you can get all the health benefits from pedalling normally for much of the journey and, with better weather on its way, why not get in the habit of ditching the car for short journeys and improving air quality.
“In the last year, bike shops have been selling out of e-bikes for all ages, even more quickly than children’s bikes.”
