Through the support from the Plymstock School Sports Partnership the DHSG 'Change 4 Life' ![bikeability logo real [800x600].JPG](blog/files/joricks/bikeability logo real [800x600].JPG "bikeability logo real [800x600].JPG")
group got the opportunity to receive free bikeability training course. Bikeability is the 21st Centry version of cycling proficency. The course was designed to meet the needs of all the members of the group. For some members that was learning to ride a bike for the first time but for others this meant learning to ride a bike safely on the local roads that surround DHSG.
WHAT A SUCCESS for all members of the group. 5 girls from the group of 10 had either never ridden a bike or had only ridden a bike with stablisers. Consequently the course lasted for 2 days for some students and for others for various reasons only lasted 6 hours.
Tuesday saw those that had no expereince on a bike work through the day on either learn to![change 4 life logo [800x600].JPG](blog/files/joricks/change 4 life logo [800x600].JPG "change 4 life logo [800x600].JPG")
get on a bike, start a journey and ride in a straight line unaidded. For others however, progress was more extensive so they spent the day learning to get started and completing various skills to enable them to go out on local roads to complete the Bikeability level 2 National Standard cycle test. Two students had never ridden a bike until Tuesday and by 3pm Wednesday they had passed Bikeability level 2 . What an outstidning achivement? Well done to those girls in particual!
Wednesday was Bikeability Level 2 day. The students spent the entire day learning how to ride the local roads safely and effectively. This included; using minor roads, major roads, turning left and right at road junctions safely, U-turns etc. All students that were involved in the day successfully acheived Level 2 Bikeability National Standard of cycling.
Well done to all girls that were involved!
