Hooray, Abel outgrew his training wheels

Abel had a milestone on 4 December 2014.  His preschool had a bike day and he brought his bike with him in the morning.  By the end of the day, he came home with his training wheels taken off :)
Well done Abel.  We think this has to do with the Bike Programme he had at the preschool in Term 2.  They spent an hour each week for 4 weeks with Carol a lady who came to talk about cycling with the children and then had their practical session.

Here's what Abel shared with me earlier in the year:

Before going on the bike, you need to check the tires for the air, check the brake is working.
  • Puts on a helmet.
  • You need to stop at the STOP sign. (he recognised STOP sign)
  • You need to go on the bike on the opposite side of the chain
  • Apply brakes
  • Also need to watch if there's people coming opposite you, then need to stop to avoid clash.
These are the main stuffs that he shared with me. Good job, Abel!
