At the begining of our session we had Kate and Kyla teach us about safety and the right clothes to wear when cycling. Kyla asked us to follow Kate outside and she told all of us to line up along the fence. Then she told us more information about cycling and checking that our bikes are safe before riding. A is for air and B is for brakes, C is for chain and D is for drop and Q was for quick release.
We all lined up from shortest to tallest and we went to claim our bikes. We checked whether our bikes were safe to ride and she told us ride aound the court a few times and we did. When she said ‘red light’ we stopped and when she said ‘green light’ we went.
Later whan she said we are going to teach you how to do the hand signs she told us to put our hands out so when a car comes, they know where we want to go. Then she said “I am going to put the cones on the ground and when you get to the first one you must turn your head to the right and at the second cone put your hand out for three seconds and turn aound the corner.”
After that we did another activity when we had to put the bean bag on top of our helmet and we had to balance it there and when you turn around you come back to the line and give the next person the bean bag so they can do the same thing.
At the end of the time with Kate and Kyla I felt really confident about cycling and hope one day I can try out what I learned on the road.
