A Renfrew schoolgirl is jumping for joy after being given a brand new bike by a local business that wanted to congratulate her on passing her cycling safety training.
Miah Taylor, a Kirklandneuk Primary School pupil, was given the Mongoose bike from Evans Cycles by the team at XSite Braehead for completing the Bikeability training and also designing posters that will be displayed at Xsite giving cycle safety advice.

Bikeability is the government’s national, in-school, cycle learning programme. It helps children grasp necessary practical skills to understand how to cycle safely.
Over 100 children at Kirklandneuk Primary School have taken part.
As part of their Bikeability training, pupils were asked to create posters highlighting cycling safety, and XSite Braehead will be displaying these posters within the centre.
Rosalind Gibson, marketing manager at XSite Braehead, said: “It’s great that children are being encouraged to learn about how to be safe while cycling, and we are delighted to help raise awareness of Bikeability by exhibiting the young people’s work.”
Jay Smith McKnight, acting depute head Teacher at the school, said: “We always want to encourage our pupils to take part in Bikeability, so we’re grateful to XSite Braehead for rewarding cycle safety.”
