Father Christmas gets on his bike in Gosport to save on petrol
Father Christmas is going green this winter and has joined up with Gosport Rotary Club for its Christmas collection.
This year, Santa will be touring the streets of Gosport on a bike. After Southsea Cycles donated the bike, Santa can keep an eye on his petrol cost.
The Rotary Club will be raising funds for community projects around the town.
A spokesman said: ‘Please support us. Last week, to take a break from sorting out the toys and his public liability insurance for the Gosport trek, Santa dropped in unexpectedly to Southsea
Cycles to try out the two-wheeled contraption - and he loved it!
