AN action packed day of motorbike and cycling fun takes place tomorrow.

Ridewell 2002 is gearing up for its third year at Preston Park, Eaglescliffe near Stockton.

It is one of the biggest biking events in the region and last year it attracted more than 15,000 people.

The event aims to promote a road safety message to all two-wheeled road users through a range of fun activities.

On view and in action will be Teesside stunt rider Dave Coates, who holds the world speed record for riding while facing backwards on his bike.

There will also be BMX stunt displays, children's cycling competency tests, competitions, observed rides and crash reconstructions.

Other attractions include a visit from the police helicopter, the North-East Air Ambulance helicopter, Cleveland Police Crash Investigation Unit and the Institute of Advanced Motorists.

The event starts at 10am.
