Hackney offers a variety of free cycle skills activities for people who live, work or study in the borough. Cycling is a healthy, low cost, environmentally friendly way to travel, as well as to keep fit. Our Year 5 class have been working with Hackney’s cycling team this week to improve their basic cycling skills. In the sessions our pupils have been learning to cycle in a safe, off-road environment with a qualified instructor. They have been learning the basics, build on their skills and gaining the confidence to be able to navigate around the local area.
