Gerron' Ya Bike!

[B00]

apparently not as easy to do nowadays.

Mini Boo is partaking in Bikeability this week at school.

At the beginning of this week, they asked her class how many could ride a bike, Mini Boo stated that out of a class of 30 (approx) only about 5 put up their hands! I was stunned. I was daftly under the impression that by 10/11 pretty much all kids could ride a bike- well apparently not.

Isn't it sad?

I cannot ride a bike. When I was young my parents said if I pass my eleven plus they would buy me a bike. I passed, they said they couldn't afford one. They did buy my younger brother one though a few years later.
I did try using a friends bike, I fell into a hedge, so I never tried again.

[ummmm]

Shaney....I nearly drowned when I was 3 so from then on my mum and nan took us swimming at least once a week. I was swimming by the age of 4. I know being able to swim doesn't stop you from drowning but it gives you a fighting chance. Mum did the same with all the grand kids as well.
