Hello: Tiny Tots Teertha ,Anav and Avir with their Moms. Abhinav with dad Krishnamurthy. Sunita mam walking her dogs Rowdy, Jojo and Diesel.Priya Chetty coming back from the walkathon event. Prerana (student) , dropped by after an event in the park.

Newbies :

Aditya: The 6 year old came with his own bike, which was a bit tall. After removing the padded saddle cover he was able to go sit and try to scoot. Needs more practice to get balance.

Arjun: Younger of the newbie brothers, the 4 year old watched the safety demo given to Aditya, but the bike was too tall for him. A bundle of energy, he did a bit of running races with his brother.

Dishita: The backend developer from Google started with the safety basics and then went on to scooting. Has a bit of a left drift and tendency to move the shoulders, after correcting that, she should be able to move to pedaling.

Ongoing Learners:

Amulya : Continued with zig zags circles and figure 8's.

Disha Murthy : Arrived promptly at 8 am with Dhanya, and helped get the cycles out. Continued with pedaling, and started on zig zags, doing well on downhill, struggling a bit uphill.

Dhanyashree : Continued with zig zags and turns, and tried circles. Worked hard for the full two hour session, like her friend Disha.

Dhwithwi : After a long break, Dwithwi found it difficult at the start but improved with downhill and uphill pedaling.

Megha: After a few rounds of scooting practice, Megha moved from balancing to half pedaling.

Meghana: Managed to pedal well downhill,and uphill too, and started on zig zags.

Richa: Moved to pedaling today albeit with some initial struggle. Definitely making progress .Still not completely habituated to using breaks and need practice in this regard.

Shweta: Did zig zags today and circles, practicing mostly by herself next.

Salma: Apart from doing few rounds, she helped train the newbies on getting started.

**Keep pedaling and see you next weekend! 🚴‍♂️🌿**
