LITTLE James Rawsthorne is riding high after winning a bicycle in a competition organised by St Helens Council's Road Safety Unit.

The four-year-old from Fox Place, St Helens, won the bike, plus a helmet and a set of lights, after entering a free prize draw at the St Helens Show.

Twelve-year-old Sutton Community High School pupil, Michael Hunter, from Rye Close, Clock Face, also won a bike in the competition and the two youngsters picked up their prizes from senior road safety officer, Lisa Scott at Halfords' St Helens store.

More than 400 youngsters filled in the prize draw forms, which were aimed at finding out how much they had learned from the experience.
