Safe cycling

On tuesday the 4th we had safe cycling, with constable Jos and constable Terry, they came to help/teach our classroom 2 how to bike safely on the road, we have 27 people in our classroom and 8 of us had to borrow constable Jos’s bikes and the other 19 brought their bikes. Constable Jos talked for quite awhile on how to use the helmet and how to do the ‘m’ check and all sorts of other stuff.

It was play time at 10:30 so we went for play, after play time we got on the bikes and started the ‘m’ check on our bikes, the ‘m’ check is when you have to check all the nuts and bolts on your bike, see if you’re tyre is pumped and ready to go, we all had gear bikes

where you can change the gears.

Second we got on our bikes and constable terry came ‘yay’ they set up some obstacles course that we done like zig zag, straight then stops, turning, after we had a challenge we had to go slowest but we were on our bikes, we were moving it was just who ever was the best 4 or 5 had another challenge to who could be the best and it was…….. William the people who were in the top 4 to 5 was Fynely, Patrick, William, Jessica and Me, there was a boy one and a girl one but the best ones got to vs each other girls and boys, while we did that constable jos and constable terry we setting up another obstacle course that had ramps,ladders and cones.

After the obstacle course's it was around lunch time and after lunch we went on the road, we we learning hand signals, road rules,road rules for intersections, look over your right shoulder, 1 meter from the gutter/curb, how to do the ‘m’ check and how to put your helmet on correctly- like put your thumb on you chin before you clip it up- make sure it's comfortable and fits you good-perfect and if it's uncomfortable get the right one that fits you. After the one round of the road one we had another turn because we were all next to each other and we didn't use them good. I was pretty good at biking because i was on a better bike than my real one the other people were
