Trainers : Parag, Vinay,Aman,Junaid,Harry

Newbies :

Shivendra- Already knows how to cycle, he came to practice cycling for a fitness test, struggles to go uphill. He rode a few rounds, and got some tips on building leg strength through lunges, squats and stair climbs to help with that.

Shreya - The Workday consultant had ridden as a child, but then had stopped after a fall. Took a bit time with static balancing and then rapidly progressed to scooting and all the way to pedaling. Stopping safely still needs some practice.

Dhun: Continued with scooting is getting the hang of it, and started trying half pedaling going uphill.

Kalpana - Continued with scooting and started half pedaling.
