Bangalore Bicycling School, Cubbon Park Session, Sunday 15 Feb 2026

A warm and sunny day, summer has arrived in Bangalore.

Trainers : Parag, Vinay, Ali, Ganesh, Venkat, Bhoomika, Aman

Hello: Tiny Tot Teertha with parents Tarun and Rachna. Go green gang at Vidhan Soudha for the tribute ride for Prabhakar Rao's late father.

Newbies :

1 Aditi- Came after a years break, and said she had forgotten everything. Started with a bit of balancing, but quickly got the rythm, practiced downhill and uphill for a few rounds, and then moved to tirnig and zig zags.

2 Neha - First learner to arrive with her sister Sneha, the CA from Calcutta made a very good start with balancing, and was able to scoot well.

3 Sneha : Sister of Neha, after a bucketful of Gyan from Ali , managed to try half a slope of scooting... got tired and said bye !

Ongoing Learners:

1 Anmol : Still scooting, not allowing hands to balance, reaching for safety of ground, using feet as brakes.

2 Dwithi- Continued with trying to scoot

3 Dhanvi learned the technique last time at Krishi Walk. Yesterday, he practiced a few rounds and felt confident to pedal on his own. He still wobbles a little and needs more practice.

4 Dhun- Managed to glide downhill for couple of seconds with feet in air...and her joy at that was worth this session !

5 Kavya : Learnt half pedalling to help move uphill

6 Kiansh - Brought his own cycle, tried a few rounds of scooting but still needs a lot of practice. Tends to walk instead of scooting.

7 Moksha - Came after a gap of few weeks and continued to practice scooting, and then managed to pedal towards the end.

8 Prachi- Kiansh's mom, progressed well to scoot, followed by scooting with one leg on the pedal, and also half pedal going up.

9 Salma- The smiling cheerleader of BBS turned up with her sunny smile, took a few rounds, and told us she will be on a months break due to Ramzan, and we will see her again in late March

10 Tamoghno- Venkat helped him to correct the lurch he is pedaling much better now. Adjusting the seatpost to sit higher also helped majorly, especially going uphill.

11 Vismaya- Came after a long break, practiced pedaling down and up by herself.

12 Yukthi- Continued to pedaling down and then up.

**Keep pedaling and see you next weekend! 🚴‍♂️🌿**
