SHOPPERS at a Cambridge supermarket are being asked to saddle up for a new green initiative.
Waitrose in Hauxton Road, Trumpington, has teamed up with the city council to provide special trailers to allow cyclists to transport their shopping home using pedal power.

Cambridge is already peddle friendly lots of other places are not. So if it fails there will it work anywhere else? But thumbs up for trying we all need to do our bit.
