Peak MTB

I really like this school, theres a real vibrant, fun atmosphere to the place and a feel that the school is trying to face and change some of the difficult issues they face in thier community like climate change and obesity. They do some of this through the cycle training and also through awareness. They also have a great art programme. So heres a pic of the dragon and Jake at the school entrance.

Well I am now well in to school bike traning mode having spent the last two weeks in schools. It never stops amazing just how some parents let thier kids ride bikes that are totally screwed on some of the most dangerous roads around. One bike on Tuesday had no brakes, the handle bars were upside down, gear cables snapped, and rear mech hanging off. The best bit is they had filled in a form saying they thought the bike was safe. It took ten mins to fix and the kid couldnt believe the difference. He thanked me for giving him a "new bike".
Today I was working in Teen and on the ride back I just kept thinking What a great job Ive got. I ride in the city, the burbs, the industrial outlands, and the back of beyond meeting great kids and communities, adults and teachers. Changing travel patterns and lives for the better. even the prick in the VW GOLF who nearly knocked me off on Tuesday cant dampen my two wheel euphoria. Roll on Tamworth Bridgetown and then back to teen.Fabtastic.
