We’ve been doing Ride A Bike activities for the last 3 weeks. On Tuesday morning the team comes into the class to teach us specific riding skills, road safety rules we need to know and skills to ride a bike safely.

We’ve loved working with the team of teachers and our bike riding skills have really improved a lot.

We’ve worked on:

  • riding a bike with no trainer wheels
  • how to wear your helmet properly – with the straps done up properly
  • tucking laces and long pants into sock – if needed
  • riding and always looking up and around – check what happening around you as you ride
  • how to pass a pedestrian on a footpath – using bell and voice as a warning
  • how to ride slooooooowly along footpaths and checking driveways in case of reversing cars
  • how to ride 2 abreast along a path and pass oncoming riders – making sure we stayed on the left side of the path – NO crashes!
  • braking quickly in an emergency.

It’s been a lot of fun learning lots of these safety strategies and we’ve all become a lot more confident when riding our bikes.
