Kanimozhi : second walk in..after the gyan, started scooting and managed some moments of both feet up in the air ..promising start !

Nishtha: First one to arrive, The child psychologist helped get the bikes. She started with the safety demo and then worked on static balancing, finally moving to scooting, with breaks. She has made excellent progress

Preeti: Started with basics and moved with scooting and had a go with half pedaling up hill too. needs to get used to the entire process as there was some nervousness during the session and had a fall towards the end. No injury thankfully. Is looking forward for the next session to practice.

Rithvik- Youngest learner of the day, came a bit late as Mom Sindhu was searching for the location. Has been pedalling with help. For his Autism, cycling has been proposed to be a calming activity.. Let us see if we can rise to the challange since he simply refuses to leave his mom..😞
