Grade 2 Cycle training recount - by Michael L

 On Thursday 20th of may 2021 room 8 had bikes “Hurry up lets go” said Miss Ashley. On thursday last block we did bikes. After lunch I straight away went to the bike people. Some of the  class were waiting for the other half to come. The other half came late either because they were still playing or having water at the water fountain. We probably learned how to put on our helmets. 

We did a bike check, a for air, b for brakes, c for chain, d for direction, d for drop and q for quick brake/stop. Air is when you check if there's any air in the tyres. Brakes are when you ride your bike and brake. C is when you turn your bike upside down and then check if it's alright. The first d is when you direct the bike to where you want it to go. The 2 d is when you pick up your bike then drop it. Last on is q, q is when you ride down and if you nearly crash put your bum of the seat pull yourself back then push both of the brakes because if you do 1 then your gonna fly of.

Then we went home. On friday/pink shirt day room 8 came into class after hearing the bell go bang shivers boom. When we came to class we did the roll and did the lunch roll. After that we went marching downstairs then marched outside to the bike container. When we got back in the same group my team went out of school to learn how to do the hand sign. How do we do the hand sign?. So if you're on the road and want to turn left or right then 1. Look back 2. Put your hand out on the right or left for 3 seconds, 3. Take your hand down 4. Turn.

In the middle/last block we learned how to take a lane, stop, go, hand sign, turning right/left and giving way. When we learnt everything about bikes my group started riding from Dunkirk all the way to point england. When we went to Point England reserve and played tag and played on the swings, slide, climbing, fire fox thing and monkey bars. After we played for like 10 or 15minutes we all got a drink and then rode back. As we were riding back my friend chance taught me how to do the tricks on a bike like doing a wheelie and other tricks. Some tricks I knew how to do but the other tricks I didn't know how to do. I forgot to tell you I learnt how to ride a bike in a side seat. And  stop at a stop sign. 

If was fun, I felt happy, surprised and shocked.
