Pedal Pushers have reached agreement with Sheffield Supertram to put on "Cyclists' Specials" from the Cathedral to Waterthorpe (Rother Valley) on the last Sunday of each month, with the aim of this becoming ongoing in the New Year, if the numbers of cyclists using them are sufficient to make it cost-effective.

We have agreed £4 return for a cyclist and their bike (Tandems £8 as there are 2 people involved). Child trailers can be accommodated.

There will be a series of short, 5 miles-ish, led rides around Rother Valley for those using the tram-assist - or you can set off by yourself for a longer ride.

The dates will be Sundays:

* 30th September (when there will also be some publicity and handing over of a cheque with the money we raised on our Tram-assisted Pedalling Picnic to Sustrans, donated by Supertram)

Subject to the success of the first tram, further services will run as follows:

* 28th October (end of British Summer time!) and
* 25th November

Timings are to be confirmed - probably 10am from the Cathedral and returning around 3pm from Waterthorpe:

See you all there!

This sounds excellent. Rother Valley is a really good easy going bike ride and making it more accessible for more people is brilliant. Well done to all involved in convincing Super Tram to allow bikes on!
