Bangalore Bicycling School, Cubbon Park Session, Sunday 1 Jun 2025

The clear and bright morning combined was a change form the rain of the last few days. Band Stand had a Bharatnatyam performance. Few newbies, more ongoing learners, another quiet day today.

Trainers : Ali, Parag, Vinay, Junaid

Hello : Sunita ji and Chandrashekar ji: our current saviours gave a passing hello Krishna : Walked all the way from home, preparing for his upcoming trek to Adi Kailash Nitesh : Ali and Fatimas's godson (Alfababy!) visiting from Delhi

Newbies :

Nisha: Complete newbie...but caught the 'Gyan' well and did scooting well. Should be able to pedal with confidence next time.

Simran : Started after having a fall in her 10th Grade and having had a dislocated shoulder, she was able to balance efortlessly and was by the end of the session able to balance on her own confidently.

Seniors:

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

Gayathri : Continued scooting today, has a tendency to lean back and also a sideways lurch and worked on correcting that.

Indu: Practiced circles, and turns, geting ready for turnung ad signaling now.

Lavanya: Perfected her scooting today

Namrata: Continued with scooting today

Shriya: Continued with circles and turns, control is getting better.

Veena: The 6 year old was the youngest learner today, continued learning to scoot and pedal with Vinay's support

Viyaan: Came towards the end, still not braking well. Needs to improve his cycle control

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. Still needs to practice both.

Till next Sunday..

Keep pedalling!🚴
