Bike Safety

Bike safety with Senior Jono

Yesterday we had bike safety with Senior Jono one of the stratford policeman. He told us where we can ride and what parts there are on a bike. He also taught us all the hand signals that we need to do on the road if we are cycling. After he had finished telling us all about the bike and the things we need to know he told us to go outside and get our bikes. Most people had brought their bikes but the people who hadn’t got to use some of the ones Senior Jono brought along in his trailer. There was another lady who helped Senior Jono teach us about bike safety and her name was Jody. When we were outside Senior Jono taught us the power pedal. After he had taught us the power pedal we had to go around a course that was laid out on the basketball court. On the course there was a roundabout at the other end of the court. As well as having to go around the roundabout we also had to give way to the people going around the circle. After we had gone around the court a few times we had to walk our bikes down to the back field with Jody while Senior Jono was packing up. We were walking our bikes down to the back field because we were going to have a few races. The first race was called the slow race, we had to go the slowest we can without putting our feet on the ground. If we put our feet on the ground we were stuck in the mud. After we had, had Two of the slow races we had Two fast races. We had to race to the other end, do Five star jumps then hop back onto our bike and then race back to the start. We had alought of fun at bike safety.
