Stunt team riding high

STUNT cyclists have taken to their bikes in a city playground in a campaign to encourage more pupils to cycle to school.

The Riderz put on a show of spins, jumps and tricks, wowing the audience at Duddingston Primary.

Co-ordinated by Cycling Scotland, the stunt cycling team is touring several schools across Scotland in a bid to encourage more children to get on their bikes for a fitter and healthier lifestyle.

Cycling Scotland is also trying to promote cycle-friendly zones around schools.
