Pedal Power

Today Room 13 was the first class in the year 5/6 syndicate to be involved in the Pedal Ready programme. We learnt how to:

Check our helmets are on properly

**Learning our 2 four 1's**

- 2 fingers between eyebrows and the front of the helmet

- 4 fingers on the side

- 1 finger under the strap

Check our bikes are safe 

**Learning our A, B, C, D's**

- A for air: Check there is air in the tyres

- B for brakes: Check that the front and back brakes work

- C for chain: Check that there is no rust and that the chain is oiled

- D for direction: Checking the steering column is fixed

Be a safe rider
