Lord Mayor gets on her bike

The country’s first Asian female Muslim Lord Mayor has taken to a tandem with Sky Ride leader Naz Ali to urge Bradford people to get on their bikes.

The Lord Mayor of Bradford, Coun Naveeda Ikram, is hoping people will sign up to the free Sky Ride event on Sunday, July 31, which gives people the chance to enjoy a traffic-free route which runs from Peel Park, down Bolton Road to Little Germany and back up to the park.

She was in Roberts Park, Saltaire, yesterday to find out more about Sky Ride Local Rides – free, small, weekly community bike rides that give everyone a chance to get out and explore their local area running until September.

Anyone wanting to take part needs to register for Sky Ride Local Rides and for the Sky Ride event itself by logging on to the website www.goskyride.com
