[Ali Poonawala]

Bangalore Bicycling School, Cubbon Park Session, Sunday 8 Jun 2025

The rains playing traunt and a merciless sun going about its job...scorching hot and fiery bright !. Band Stand was alive with classical music and performance.. some newbies, some ongoing learners,,we chugged along !

Trainers : Ali, Vinay

Hello : Nitesh : Accompanied Ali, as he had last week, Abhinav and Dad Krishnamurthy came to say hello too.

Newbies :

Jeevitha: Introduced by Hemisha. Her Past experience at learning had been a disaster..had a fracture, so very commendable 🌟. started scooting, managing short spells, should be balancing in couple of sessions.

Rose: Petite with no past horror story ! Did good scooting .

Devika : She was quick to pick up the essence and got her balance nicely. Started early pedalling.

Chethan : Came late, with younger sister, Jhanvi and mom. Although mom said he learnt on balancing wheel bike, his balancing during scooting was impeccable and started pedalling very first uphill.

Seniors:

Aneesh : Honing his signalling skills and helping other learners too 👍

Indu: Practiced circles, and turns, should be ready for figure of '8' and signalling.

Lavanya: Now pedalling, finds uphill difficult, but managed with some push !

Hemisha : Managed both, clockwise and anticlockwise circles well, Figure of 8 is the next target !

Richa : Her usual happy smiling self, still not trusting her hands enough to balance through a long stretch...And shows no signs of weariness. ! So much to learn !

Shruthi : Came after a break and has got the scooting balance now. Ready for pedalling in the next session

Viyaan: Came after the end ..with mom in tow...No t much to say !

Viraaj: His left hand is too strong, needs to ease its grip and increase the right side, to remain adrift. Father's commitment is commendable 🌟

Vismaya: She practiced scooting and half pedal. Using feet as brakes.

Till next Sunday..

Keep pedalling!🚴
