Bikeability. By Lana Tiefenbrun

In the past few weeks, we have been doing Bikeability. If you don’t know what that is, it’s where you learn to ride a bike safely on the road. So far we have just been cycling in the playground learning how to signal to traffic and do safe starts and stops. We also learnt how to do a safety check on our bike to see if it’s safe to ride.

 This week was different because it was our first week on the road. We learnt how to do right turns and left turns. For a right turn, you indicate with your right arm and then you turn and put your arm down. At a junction, you stop first, look behind you, indicate and then go. For a left turn, you do the same but indicate with your left hand.

We’re all really enjoying Bikeability and have two more weeks to go.
