NSYBRA Rep, Leona Chen and her daughter Peye, recently organized a bicycle safety seminar that was held on 9/16/18 with Girl Scout Troop 4030 in Bayside, NY. The seminar, held in a local church parking lot, discussed safety rules, basic bicycle structure, maintenance and the importance of riding free of distractions.
The girls put the instruction into practice by riding laps back and forth and around the perimeter of the lot. The practice also included a slalom around a series of eight cones. As the girls became increasingly more confident in the drills, they encouraged each other to stay in line and to ride faster.
The session wrapped up with the girls making s’mores for themselves, their families and their invited guests. We expect many of the girls will try racing in 2019!
Check out the great video of the event provided by one of the parents, Jose Castillo.
Now that’s a fun ride!
