Dinnington: Ben Swift goes back to school to talk cycling
World champion professional cyclist Ben Swift went back to his old school to talk about healthy lifestyles.
The Olympian, who rides for Team Sky, met kids at St Joseph’s R C Primary School in Dinnington where he answered lots of questions.
He told the captive audience how he first raced a mountain bike aged three, and was nine years when he first raced on the continent.
