Primary 6 and 7 pupils at Ashfield Primary began their iCycle training on Tuesday led by classroom assistant, Mrs Paterson, and parent helpers, Mr and Mrs Gascoigne. After a thorough safety check of bikes and helmets the children were introduced to the basics of cycling on the road including looking back and signalling. Initial training is being completed in the playground but the children will be putting their new skills into practice on the road in a few weeks. Residents of Achnamara beware!
Excellent news. Not nearly enough people cycle these days and I think that’s a pity. There are so many great cycle paths in this part of the world, and its a real shame that they don’t get used more.
