They came, they saw, and they cycled as more than 170 people of all ages made Shrewsbury's Kidical Mass bike-riding event one of the biggest in the country.
Riders young and old came with cargo bikes, trailers, and even training wheels to the meet-up on Sunday morning at the William Clement Memorial obelisk in the Quarry Park, near Stop Café at St Julian Friars, to take a leisurely ride around town.
Copthorne councillor Rob Wilson, who helped organise the ride with local residents, said:"The turnout puts us amongst the biggest Kidical Mass events in the country."It was a really fantastic turnout, there is obviously a lot of latent demand for people to get out and ride bikes."Mr Wilson says Shrewsbury is a good place to bring up children and it was great to see so many families out and about.
