Bike Safety Week
On the 10th week of Term 2 the Senior Syndicate did bike safety with Iris, Sam, Lucy and Vanessa. They were teaching us how to get our bike licence for riding on the road. We were practising on the back field by riding over pieces of wood arranged as obstacles and riding around a roundabout made out of cones.
So, once we had done that we were then allowed out on the road, but before we did, we had to do the ABC check and the 4, 2, 1 for our bike and helmet.
The ABC check is – Air, Brakes and Chain.
The 4, 2, 1 check is – 4 straps from your helmet, 2 fingers of space on your forehead – for sight – and 1 – fingers space under your chin for the strap on your helmet. This is a safety check for your helmet.
