Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Pat "5mph"]

Now I'm really curious ... what do the guidelines say about freewheeling?

T

Not about freewheeling as such, about the lesson: we are supposed to follow EDICT (Explain, Demonstrate, Imitate, Correct, Try again) plus I have to work with another who's supposed to be the assistant (me the instructor) then we have to change roles half way, and only have 10 minutes allocated to do it all!

What's this? Hope you are OK, @HLaB (and your bike, too!)

Ehhhh, I'll get down to it in a wee minute
Done my cyclecraft 1 today, I'm shattered! Got to prepare a lesson for tomorrow on how to teach KIDS to freewheel ... double

Cyclecraft 1?? Just out of interest, tell me more...

A quick thanks to those that have sponsored my cycle tomorrow. Feeling pretty kicked in the teeth that my " real" pals haven't dropped a penny, so to get you guys supports fantastic. Yet again you have been a great support to me. Owe you guys and gals a great debt this year

That's easy ... pedal furiously, take your feet off the pedals and go "Wheeeeeeee!"

Presentation went well, passed cyclecraft 1 for instructors.
My "pupils" (course colleagues) asked " do we have to take our feet of the pedals???"
Done cyclecraft 2 as well, presentation next Monday on Advanced Stop Lines

@Fubar I'm doing a course for Instructors of Bikeability at level 3 sponsored (paid for lol) by the "a better way to work" organization.
Discovered today that I need to unlearn some wrong stuff I've been doing, like:
keep both hands on the bars at starting off - was keeping only one
use mostly the back brake, feather with the front - was using mostly the front
keep primary on more instances - was, for example, keeping in secondary when turning left
Luckily I have a full week of commuting to practice on before next weeks final assessment

have just had to devise a way to carry a large baking tin on the back of my bike ... It's 'Apple Day' at our workplace tomorrow, and quite a few of us took home some apples from our wee Millennium Orchard, to bring back tomorrow as an apple dish of one's choice ... so there will be lots of cake testing scoffing during morning tea break ...
I think I've sorted it, so hopefully the tray will be able to travel safely and not fall off along the way .
