Bikeability Training

Our children are now much safer cycling on the roads following their ‘Bikeability’ training last week.  We are grateful to our trainers, Tim and Bryan from Haddenham Cycle Training, who worked hard with two groups to ensure they could all look out for dangers, signal efficiently, turning both ways, passing parked vehicles and all other road hazards they could imagine.  Hopefully you will spot the children riding safely around the village with their helmets on.

My son can happily tell the story of his helmet split down the middle following a fall on the road.  Fortunately, his head was fine and a new helmet and some dressings for grazes to arms and legs were all we needed, but it goes to show the importance of wearing a helmet at all times whilst cycling.
