Hello: Tiny tot Anav with his parents, out for his first balance bike ride. Kiddo Abhinav, having learnt no hands, looking to learn wheelies, with dad Krishnamurthy. And a rare darshan of Krishna !


Newbies :
Koushani - Manali's elder sister and an HR professional, is the first student to answer all the basic questions correctly ! She started with the basics and moved to scooting and had achieved a good balance, but had to stop as she was feeling a bit dizzy.
Kalpana - Eldest learner of the day, Came at the end of the class, but is a quick learner and after the basics, moved on to scooting and half pedaling.
Prerna- The CRM product manager and Travel enthusiast started with static balancing and moved to scooting quickly. By the end of the class she was able to scoot with one leg on the pedal, and also half pedal going uphill.




Ongoing Learners:
Dayansh- Tried turning with hand signals and needs more practice to stay stable.
Dhun: Continued with scooting, was struggling a bit going uphill.
Fatima- Continued with pedaling up and down, and doing some turns.
Manali - Continued with scooting and half pedaling, and then did a few rounds of pedaling, needs a bit more practice to stay upright, especially going uphill.
Nadia- was able to pedal uphill on her own and confidently ride outside the training area.
Sairah- Practiced safe stopping and riding without a lurch.
Salma- The smiling cheerleader of BBS turned up with her sunny smile, took a few rounds, and encouraged the learners with her pep talk.
Shankari :Moved to scooting and a bit of pedaling today. Shankari pedals uphill easily but struggles downhill with lurching.
Tariq: Is still pedaling downhill with a lurch, but it has reduced and he is able to stay upright for longer intervals.
Yashawanth- Continued with scooting.

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