Ranjini- Had cycled as a child, and was able to get to scooting confidfently before leaving for the day.

Arjith- Rides like a champ now, and came with very cool sunglassess too.

Devika - Did some scooting, and moved to pedalig in the end, still has a bit of a lurch that needs correction.

Dhriti - Did some pedaling, and moved on to turns. She managed the slightly tall cycle quite well.

Sharini - Cracked the balance today and moved to pedaling, need a bit more practice to fix a small lurch of the shoulders.

Soumya- Practiced zig zags and turns. Stopping is poor and needs to practice braking next time

Suma- Did static balancing quickly, and then moved to scooting, is abe to scoot short distances, but needs to let the momentum build for scooting freely.

Yateesh - Took a bit of time to get the balance part right, but then made good progres in scootin and even tried pedaling.
