[Ali Poonawala]

Bangalore Bicycling School, Cubbon Park Session, Sunday 16 March 2025

Another bright and sunny morning today, the hot summer has arrived ! Band Stand lively with a dance performance.

Trainers :Naga Prakash, Ali, Parag, Vinay

Hello : Krishnamutthi and Abhinav

Newbies :

Chetana: A walk in , tried scooting for a while and got a good sense of balance going downhill.

Radhika: The earliest of the learners to turn up (and leave!). She had learnt cycling long back. So she could quickly move from scooting to pedaling.

Seniors:

Nilanjana : Continued with pedaling and was able to ride properly uphill by the end of the session, however, struggled maintaining balance going downhill

Aneesh : Has much improved in turning, now moving on to Circles. Finding anti clockwise difficult.. !

Kavita : Continued with scooting for a while then tried half pedaling, and moved to full pedaling, great progress ! Uphill start needs some more practice. in her own words :" Learnt scooting & half pedalling in the last session. Today, did full pedalling on my own downhill and normal path, but lurching while going uphill."

Radha: Got a bit delayed waitng for a rental bike. ( Note : those who haven't learnt balancing fully will have right of way for our bikes ) Started today with scooting and managed pedal downhill too on Abhinavs bike with his help. Good job Radha and Abhinav !

Richa: She is content doing short sessions and still has not got the hang of scooting ; not able to transfer balancing responsibility to the hands and keeps putting foot down

Rukmini : Concentrating on her overall control with 'figure of 8' turning.

Sanvi - Moved from scooting to pedaling fully up and down. Learnt half pedalling. Needs to keep right foot on the pedal always when sitting

Vibha- Continued practicing hand signalling while ridng by herself on level ground. Needs to take up in slopes next.

Till next Sunday..

Keep pedalling!🚴
