On a warm Tuesday morning, the Karra learners met at the oval and waited to meet some people from Bike SA and Sweet Pedals. There was 6 stations that we participated in. There was a tricycle station where you had a partner. One person was pedaling and the other person was standing on the back of the tricycle a lot of people really enjoy that activity. The second station was a smoothie station were you chose what you wanted in your smoothie then you put all the ingredients into a blender then attached the blender to the bike once it was attached someone sat on the bike and pedaled really fast this station was very popular. The next station was a tire toss were you had to pump up a bike tire then tried to get it onto a cone sort of like a ring toss. Next we had the BMX bikes where you had to do an activity where there was about 5 or 6 people and you ride around in a continuous circle and each time you go around the circle slowly gets smaller. A lot of our young people joined in on this activity. Then we did a changing tires activity where you had to change the tires on the bikes I don’t think many people did this activity. The last station was a bike relay where you just had a go on the big bikes and just rode around the college on the bigger bikes, a lot of our learners participated in this activity as well. The Bicycle Olympics was a huge success our Karra learners really enjoyed the experience and we hope to be able to participate in the Bike Olympics again in the future.
