Bike libraries sponsor sought

WELCOME TO Yorkshire is in discussions with potential sponsors about continuing to support the Tour de Yorkshire Bike Libraries initiative.

Aimed at giving people free access to bicycles no matter what their age, ability or location, the Bike Libraries initiative has been one of the true legacy success stories of the Tour de France.

Yorkshire Bank sponsored it but has since been taken over by Virgin Money.

Peter Dodd of Welcome to Yorkshire said: “We are talking to a number of sponsors about replacing Yorkshire Bank sponsoring the Bike Libraries. We will have a transformation.”
