Sir, – May we thank the many people who have supported the Wensleydale Rotary Club collection of Yellow Bikes.

These bikes lined the route of the Grand Depart in July . Together with 22 other bike donations now totalling 80 they have been delivered to the Margaret Carey Foundation in Bradford.

They will be re-furbished by young offenders in various northern prisons. There is considerable evidence that as a result of teaching and developing skills in these young persons there is subsequently much lower levels of re-offending.

The bikes are then supplied via Physio-net together with equipment for disabled people to needy people in Africa. A magnificent win, win, outcome

Thanks to all who contributed .

PHIL OLIVER

President , Wensleydale Rotary Club.
