teaching adults how to cycle

[Ali Poonawala]

Hi friends !

Both sessions took place,  

Begur first .

Ganesh's report :

"

12-Feb-2023, Begur: Learner 1, trainer 1 

Swagata arrived on time and was jittery to start complaining of forgetting to ride again. Soon she took off well, thanks to her earlier session and determination to cycle regularly. She is committed to cycling and declared that she is not looking to ride motorized 2 wheelers. 

With Manjusha not turning up, the 1:1 session went well over an hour with Swagata. She is getting comfortable with riding straight lines without support. Today, learnt to tackle speed breaker without getting down, controlling pedaling to manage speed than using breaks every time and started to maintain straight line by riding on road marking. More to practice next week.

Trainee Instructors 

All 5 Decathlon trainee instructors Ruchita, Arun, Pramode, Lijo and Rathan were assessed , and all of them are now Certified Instructors. They have all demonstrated a great attitude, high energy level and the ability to learn.

Naresh, who has his own bicycle store at Uttarhalli, is fresh KBDA trainee. He got to undestand the basics of how we go about the teaching program!

Newbies

Tushar Anand- Had learnt as a child, but  not cycled after that. Did well in scooting and progressed to pedaling well, but still has a bit of a lurch.

Ongoing

Jigyasa- Picked up from 2 sundays ago, and started on turning, and a bit  of hand signaling today.

Muskan- Started on zig zag, after pedaling fluently up and down today.

Sandhya- is pedaling well, but still has a bit of a lurch to work out.

Thanks Parag,💐🙏

Junaid's report :

Sowmya was the first and Bru was the next, continuing from last week's session and performing Good.

Next was Sudha with son Suraj, Sudha was full of energy and has promised to come next week to get her balance.

Jigya and muskaan were also doing good and practicing.

Tushar was a first timer too and did great with the balance, needed to practice more on posture
