ON Saturday I cycled with the over-55s cycling club as a direct result of an article in The Press.

It’s a new club for easy riders organised by Get Cycling in Hospital Fields Road.

Some participants were cycling for the first time for years.

Some borrowed bikes from Get Cycling and others had their own.

Get Cycling even loaned a couple of tandems, piloted by volunteers.

We cycled along the York to Selby cycle path as far as Naburn, where we were kindly fed, watered and entertained.

Exercise, good company, the opportunity to make new friends, and, capping it all, brilliant sunshine.

What’s not to like?

Thank you, Get Cycling.

I look forward to more such days.
