Sustrans: Ditch the Stabilisers

The children in Primary 1 and Primary 2 had the fantastic opportunity to learn to cycle ‘stabiliser-free’ in our school playground. We had children whizzing around, propelling themselves with their feet and finding their innate balance, before finally putting feet on the pedals and becoming ‘real cyclists’. It was a joy to see the children reach this milestone. By teaching our children to ride a bike, we are giving them a skill for life and an opportunity to develop a love of active lifestyles.

 

Thank you to Emma from Sustrans who coached the children and to all of the parents and grandparents who helped out on the day. It really was a day to remember.

 

Well done to all – and keep cycling!
