I see that they are cycling around and over obsticles. Is this training for the horrendous cycle paths in this country.

think they need decent bikes that fit them propaly, not hunk a junk bikes from argos, loads safer and wayyyy more fun, countless people stop riding from bikes not working becouse ther to cheeply made

I can't hear the sound on it but the visuals look very worrying - lots of kids with badly fitting helmets, not covering the brakes etc not to mention dangerous looking activities such as riding over planks of wood - not something you need to do very often onroad, thankfully.

I remember when kids where taught to cycle on the road :(

no wonder motorists think they own the road and pay tax to use it when it's considered good cycle advocacy to have kids doing tricks and riding off carriageway lanes.

There's a Minister for Cycling !!!! ??????

He keeps his presence in the cycling world very low key!
