“The learners were taught by their teachers that cycling is not only good for the body and mind but also has numerous physical and mental benefits. These benefits include boosting mood, relieving stress, building muscle, improving balance and coordination, strengthening the immune system, and enhancing cardiovascular health,” said Kirsten Davie from Curro Sport.

To promote a safe and enjoyable cycling experience, the school set up a bicycle track with road signs around it. The learners were encouraged to wear their helmets, emphasising the importance of safety while riding.

Learners were encouraged to practise safety precautions while riding while the educator oversees everything. “Always wear a helmet, plan a safe route, be visible to others and pay attention, follow traffic rules, and use hand signals when turning or stopping.
