The green travel team at North Yorkshire County Council has presented Northallerton College with a bicycle and trailer for assistant site manager Daniel Ford to carry items around the college and nip into town.

It was presented by the county's travel awareness assistant Saskia Kouyioumtzi in national bike week last week and bears the slogan 'If you're not going far, forget the car.'

The presentation ties in with the college's travel plan, for which it received a £10,000 Government grant, to encourage sustainable transport. The grant will be used to install cycle storage areas and lockers, so students can cycle to college and have somewhere to store books and bags.
