Newbies :

Abhitha - Started with scooting.

Divya: Started slow but she was able to scoot towards the end of the session and also learnt half pedalling. Can start with proper pedalling next week.

Esha: Joint Star of the day. Had tried cycling before. Starred a bit slowly with static balancing, and then made rapid progress on scooitng, and started pedaling both uphill and downhill.

Indu: Joint star of the day, she and Esha were twinning from the start to the end of the class, with almost identical progress. Started off quickly with static balancing, but took a while on getting confident while scooting, but then picked up pace and fluently rode by the end ofthe class.

Renze: Had to wait a while to get a cycle to try static balancing, and then moved to scooting, needs some more practice.

Seniors:

Aishwarya: Her second session..and since she had learnt in childhood, it is all coming back fairly well. Will need safe stoping, handle control and signalling practice.

Dilip: Continued with pedaling, and then did some more scooting as he has a bit of a tendency to lean to the left, needs to work on that.

Pranika: Riding fluently now, includig starting.

Richa: continued with scooting, is able to balance for short intervals.

Shwetha - Continued with scooting, and a bit of pedaling.
