Our First Cycling Lesson

We are lucky enough to have our very own bike track and a set of bikes thanks to bikes in schools and on Monday we had our very first lesson.  It was great fun and Sahil even learnt to ride a bike! We can't wait to get back on them.  Here's a link to a news paper article about our new track.
