I am writing to urge readers NOT to give Dad chocolates or cake on Father's Day (June 16).

Instead, why not encourage him to cycle off excess pounds during Bike Week (June 15-23)?

Hundreds of free rides are being organised www.bikeweek.org.uk has details of events in Wiltshire.

Short distance rides are suitable for unfit 'fatties'. There will also be safe routes for families.
