Learning How To Ride A Bike

Before you ride a bike

You have to check:

• You’ve got to check the BRAKES
• The brakes are in the front of the handes.

• Next is the Wheels
• As you check the wheels, you had to see if the tread of the wheels were still there.

• After that is Bolts
• You check the bolts by looking at the First Release.

• Last of all is the Reflectors
• Reflectors are really important, especially when you're on the road.
• To see if the reflectors working you’ve got to  shine a light at it from a distance.

J.S taught us about what we’ve got to wear when riding a bike.

• On your feet you’ve got to wear closed shoes.
• On you legs you’ve got to wear shorts. If you were baggy pants then you could roll them up or rubber band them.
• To wear on top you would have to wear a bright coloured shirt.You also have to wear a reflectors jacket.

Next he told us about how to put on our safety helmets

• To put on your helmet you had to, lower down your hair, because it would not be safe for your head, if it was knocked to the ground.
• Last you’ve got to tighten up the ropes. You’ve got to make a letter y on the left and on the right you’ve got to use a letter v.

The Practical

“Finally the time has come” as I stand nervously.

As new beginner's Gemima and I went down to the juniors to learn how to ride a bike.

As we learnt we found it hard to turn the bicycle. As we finished our first trial we went to J.S to find out some tips on how to turn your bike.

He gave us a demonstration. To have a nice turn you would have to same some speed for your bike. Then you would have to use the speed to give a nice turn. As you turn you would have to  put down the leg you turn to. Eg if you turned to the left then you put down your left.

On that day I learnt how to ride a bike.

As I ride on the road I will keep these tips in mind.
