To answer some complex questions

[lo 5.2.1]

We will be looking at many different aspects of cycling! We will look at all the different parts of the bicycle, as well as rules to be aware of when riding. We will do many fun activities with a cycling theme and we will learn about some famous cyclists and cycle races. Bicycles are the only form of transport for many people today and therefore it is important that we understand the rules of the road when riding a bicycle and that we know about basic maintenance skills, e.g. fixing a puncture.

Let’s start with a fun activity. Have a careful look at the picture below and then answer the questions that follow.
