Minister for Transport John Cortes this week presented Cycling Proficiency certificates to 20 children who had attained their Level One proficiency during the Summer Sports Programme, having completed the course provided by Pedal Ready. 

The children and their families were addressed by Pedal Ready’s Simon Debono and former Minister for Transport Paul Balban, both of whom stressed the importance of safe cycling as a form of transport and the need for continuing the cycling infrastructure. Plans for a proposed “Cycling Bus” were also presented. Minister Cortes congratulated Pedal Ready and the children and expressed his commitment to support cycling on our roads and through our schools.
