From balance bike to road rider 🚲
Lenny’s support team suggested learning to ride a bike to build balance, coordination, confidence & persistence, so in April we set off with a balance bike and a helmet at the park in Moama.
Week by week, Lenny went from walking beside the bike to coasting with his feet up, rolling down the velodrome incline and then, on July 13 pedalling nearly 200 metres on his own for the very first time. 🎉
From there he learned to brake on demand, start by himself, hold his line on a narrow path, ride figure eights, scan left and right and ride two abreast. And he didn’t fall once during practice!
On August 31, four months after his first session, Lenny rode on the road with real traffic: cars, buses, single file and back again. He handled it all!🙌🏽
Lenny learned more than how to ride a bike. He learnt to trust himself, keep going when things got hard & discover what he’s capable of. Go Lenny!😍💪🏽
