Pedal Power at Green Lane Infant School

Pupils and teachers at Green Lane Infant School are thrilled with a fabulous new outside learning space for all their pupils which has been developed with the help of Groundwork .

The newly developed, interactive Foundation Stage playground has been a great hit with the children since it opened this term.

The highlight for many of the children is the two brightly coloured, new static LED pedal power bikes, which take pride of place.

The children hop on, pedal as fast as they can and, having generated enough electrical energy, will see the household appliances light up on the board.  For more information click here.

Cycle Mural Brightens Up Bikes 4 All

Bikes 4 All, have commissioned local community artist, Kirsty Whitrow, to create a mural for their new premises at Queen Street.

The mural is intended to reflect Leicester's diverse cycling community and will bring a refreshing splash of colour to the landscape.

Work is now well underway and is due to be completed later this month.

In the mean time, Bikes 4 All is still open for recycled, low-cost bike sales six days a week. Monday - Saturday 9:00 - 4:30.
