SO at last we are going to recognise the humble bicycle for what it truly is - a convenient and cheap means of transport, a leisure 'tool', a way of keeping fit and the key to a whole new world of cycle sport.

When the planned pedestrianisation of Alcester High Street is completed and linked to the Riverside Cycle Way along the banks of the River Arrow to Salford Priors, Alcester will at last be the cycling capital of the Midlands!
