What does a Sustrans bike ride assistant volunteer do?
Bike rides run during the school day and after school. We mainly cycle to the beach or Stanmer Park. School staff and parents attend the rides to look after the children so we are looking for volunteers to help run the rides.
A volunteer would start as a backmarker and you would cycle at the speed of the slowest rider. Full support and informal training provided.

- enjoy working with children
