Tour de Yorkshire Bike Painting

Calling all Nunthorpe residents or club members living in and around Nunthorpe.

You know those cute little blue & yellow bikes you see around the area, hung on walls or propped against trees. Like this one in Stokesley…

Well how would you like to paint one? Or better still, how would your kids like to paint one? Nunthorpe council are looking for volunteers, young & old, to paint some bikes for the Tour de Yorkshire. They will provide (and drop off) the bikes and the paint and leave you to it!

If you’d like to get involved email councillor Lesley McGloin at Lesleymcgloin@aol.com

If you do paint a bike (or bikes) take some photos of the work in progress and send them to us for this page.
