The message must be getting through. Hardly any of the children needed their tyres blown up. Not many needed their seats raised.
Several bikes needed minor gear and brake adjustments – which their owners did themselves. Hands-on tool use is a great way to learn.
One girl was particularly pleased and said: “My bike has never been as good since it was new.”
The classroom exercises went particularly well, impressing Maggie who took the class and the teacher who observed while getting on with some preparation work. She is going to set the children some homework – writing about their impressions of the Bicycle Awareness Afternoon. (Some of their words should be on this site next week.)
Paul did his tricks in the playground and passed on some skills.
