A mini road network designed to help children learn how to ride bikes safely while having fun has opened at the Victoria Embankment in Nottingham.
The £135,000 Junior Bike Track features traffic lights, zebra crossing a roundabout, and junctions.
Nottingham City Council says the track is suitable for toddlers on balance bikes up to 11-year-olds and scooters are also welcome.
It is hoped there will be formal courses on road safety and learning to cycle on the course in future. The park is free to use and open to the public at any time, right through the week.
Councillor Dave Trimble, the council’s portfolio holder for leisure and culture, said: “It’s a great way to introduce children to road safety from a really young age, while providing a really engaging space to enjoy the outdoors. They can play, and have fun but learn at the same time.”
