Youngsters at a Nottingham primary school will be getting on their bikes for a lesson in cycle safety, 1950s style.

The pupils at Southwold Primary School on Kennington Road, Radford, are to be put through their paces in a reconstruction of the first and original cycling proficiency test.

The event will kick off a series of activities as part of a project being led by The University of Nottingham and local community theatre group Hanby and Barrett to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Nottingham-based Raleigh, the world’s oldest bicycle company.
