An abandoned field next to the Ghajnsielem square has been transformed into a temporary bicycle pump track, much to the delight of locals.

The initiative aims to support the village's youth community learn a new sport, with Ghajnsielem mayor Kevin Cauchi sharing footage of youngsters trying out the new pump track.

The track was built in collaboration with local BMX group Goodcleanfun.

The Ghajnsielem Pump Track is located in the Ta' Passi fields, parts of which were used for the annual animated Christmas crib Betlehem f'Ghajnsielem.

Time to get those rusty bikes out of storage!
