Over the last few weeks we have been taking part in bikeability lessons in the school playground. Last week we started our first lesson on the road; it was quite scary but really exciting!

Firstly, we had to do our bike check to make sure that our bikes and helmets were safe to go on the road. We then walked our bikes to the road where we were going to do our practising. The manoeuvres we were doing were:

• Left hand turns
• Passing a side road
• U-turns
• Safe stops

We were constantly improving our skills by making sure we were in control of our bikes at all times and making safe starts and stops. There were some obstacles along the way because some cars passed us or were driving behind us so we needed to make sure we didn’t panic and that we signalled in advance. We are looking forward to practising right hand turns this week along with our safe starts and stops.
