Beginning the week of 19th
January a select group of people were able to participate in cycling
proficiency lessons. I was lucky enough
to take part in this. There were
approximately 5 students who participated in these sessions. In the first
lesson, we just stayed in the playground; however, during the rest of the week
we were on the road and came across different scenarios such as a roundabout
and coming across cars on narrow roads. The
instructors told us about the importance of staying away from the ‘door zone’
as a cyclist can get seriously injured by a driver opening the car door. We
learned about the importance of looking at street signs and lines on the road,
especially to see who has the right of way when travelling on the roads.
Happily, all of us passed the week’s sessions in flying colours and will be
receiving certificates for our learning. Ride safely!
