Trainers : Ali, Parag, Vinay

Newbies :

Dilip: Has cycled as a child, and after a couple of rounds of scooting, moved on to pedaling . Has a bit of a tendency to lean to the left, needs tro work on that.

Aishwarya: Had cycled in the childhood, safety aspects highlighted, scooted effortlessly but directional control has to come

Milang : Just hope I have got this little Hercules' name right ! Came along with his bike and younger brother with his own, but with balancing wheels. Dad was declared " not upto the mark to teach him cycling " by this champ ! started scooting ..under protest.

Neha: A walk in newbie. Had a great trainer , Priya, in tow. She took over !!

Seniors:

Daksh: A 7th standard student (going to) came along with his mother He continued learning to Scoot and half pedalling too

Pranika: Came on her own bike fitted pedals, and managed to pedal down as well as up fluently, just needs a bit of a push at the uphill start to get going.

Rukmini : Now trying to do hand signalling during upslope travel. Also practising safer stop and starts. Very dedicted student 👍

Shruti: Continued with scooting downhill quite well, and help pedaling uphill. Should be ready to try pedaling next week.
