Today my expo group did intro to bikes.

We first had to get a helmet and a bike that was our approximate size from down in the storage area. We then went to the basketball court and fixed any problems with the size, such as how high the seat is. When everyone had the right size bike we checked to make sure all the bits of the bike were together and not broken and that all the levers weren’t going to get in the way of the spokes. We quickly changed the gears so they weren’t to easy or hard then rode over to the Dinner Plain car park area.

First we practiced turning and braking and how to change gears properly. We set up a few small obstacles and had to make our way through them. Next we practiced how to get the front wheel off the ground, then the back, then both at the same time if you could and felt comfortable doing it. I got all three done. We rode back to school then had to clean and put away all the bikes properly.

The day went well, all thanks to Mr.Chlebna and Miss. Adams.
