TEACHERS, pupils and parents who used pedal power to get to school yesterday were rewarded with bacon sandwiches.
Le Cateau Primary School, at Catterick Garrison, wants to encourage more people to cycle, and arranged a day of bike games and activities. Neighbouring Hipswell, Wavell and Carnagill schools also took part.
All pupils, aged three to 11, were involved and groups of 15 children and three adults cycled round garrison cycle paths during the day and learned about road safety and bike maintenance.
Margaret Merrall, deputy headteacher, said: "This will encourage the use of the cycle paths and help reduce our carbon footprint."
