Safe Cycling
On 4 - 4 -2017 (Tuesday) Constable Josh and Constable Terry came to our school to teach our classroom (room 2) safe cycling.
Before we even started biking we learned the safety rules on a bike. When turning a corner you have to put one of your arms out to signal which way you are turning 3 seconds ahead (Example: if you are turning left you put your left arm out). When you are about to stop you put your right hand to signal you are going to stop. If you are going around a car look behind you to make sure there are no cars coming. Then make sure there is no one inside the car so they don't open up the door on you and you crash.
When we got outside to start biking, we started simple with biking around cones on the court. There were a few traffic jams, but it was fine. We had to use our hand signals and everything else we learned. Finally after we had all accomplished that the course got a bit more complex. We had to on 2 type of ramps that goes up and down with your weight. As well as a ladder (which isn’t really a ladder now).
Once all that we were now more experience with the safety of biking (Don’t know what we learned from the ramps though)! Now it was time to test our skills… There was a course set up around the block near the school. Which would know test what we learned from safe cycling. We had to use our hand signals and always check for cars. I think we did pretty good.
