Hi,

Welcome and thank you for registering for Healthy Habits’ Sunday Cycle Skool™.

There is no need to buy a bike before coming to the club as we have some adult and children’s bikes you can use.  The places are limited, so please apply early to avoid disappointment.

The first session will be on Sunday 16th October. Please come along for 09:30am. Cycle Skool™ will run until around 4pm at the Southbank Marina.

We will have access to toilets and a car-free area at the rear of the building.  There is ample parking nearby.  Please don’t park in Sainbury’s Car Park as they have a parking  time limit.

PLEASE NOTE PARENTS MUST ACCOMPANY CHILDREN TO THE CLUB FOR THE FULL DAY

Register at the blue gazebo with ED’s Cycle trainers

  1. You will be allocated to a suitable group
  2. Learn simple maintenance with Dr Bike
  3. First Aid Training in the sports hall.

It would be great if each participant could have the following items;

  • Your own bike (FREEloan bikes available – while stocks last!)
  • A correctly fitted cycle helmet (compulsory for children) loan helmets are available;
  • A packed lunch or money to buy lunch from local shops ; remember to bring plenty of snacks, we find that children and their parents eat a lot more than normal on the rides, things like fruit, biscuits crisps or anything that is quickly eaten
  • A small rucksack to carry snacks and a drink etc when we go out on afternoon guided local rides – don’t forget waterproofs – please don’t dress to impress – dress for the weather
  • A small toolkit if you have one. You’ll be given lots of advice on using these during thefirst Dr.Bike session.

 

There will be 3 sessions before the end of the month Sunday 16th, 23rd and 30thOctober.  30th October will be a special Halloween ride – fancy dress if you wish.

Your children (and you) will be given fundamental riding skills from ED’s Trainers.

Children on stabilisers  - if you can remove them before Sunday that would speed things up – but don’t worry we can do this for you.  We’ll aim to have them riding by the end of the day.

Current riders – you’ll be led on off road routes in the local area after receiving skills tuition – braking, control and starting/stopping

Return to the Marina between 2 pm and 3pm– more advanced riders may be slightly later as you’ll have the option of a longer ride along the canal.

There will be plenty of time to ask questions of any of the instructors who are keen to support your learning and enjoyment.

We will ask you sign a full consent form on Sunday – the form you are about to complete will capture you and your child’s details – we’ll print this off for you to sign on Sunday.  Below is a copy of the small print so you can read it before signing up to join the Sunday Skool™.

Thank you again for supporting this initiative, I look forward to meeting you on Sunday. We hope you have a great time, getting to know more pupils and parents while developing your cycle skills, confidence and knowledge of some of East Dunbartonshire’s fabulous natural and cultural heritage cycle trails.

Yours

Donald Macdonald

Parental/Guardian Consent

 

I, being the parent/guardian of …………………………………… have read the information on this form and the following notes, and consent to my child taking part in the coaching sessions. I understand and agree that my son/daughter participates in coaching sessions under the instruction of Cycling coaches entirely at his/her own risk. I have considered the nature of such sessions and have discussed them with my son/daughter. I am satisfied that my son/daughter is sufficiently responsible and competent to assume full and entire responsibility for his/her own safety under the supervision of a Cycling coach.

 

Notes

  • You are giving consent for your child to participate in cycle coaching sessions. While the majority will be conducted in an off road environment, you should note that in some instances it might be necessary for the coach to move riders from one location to another, which may require limited use of the public highway.
  • It is part of our risk assessment process to ensure that reasonable steps are taken to establish a safe environment where young riders can enjoy developing their cycling skills.
  • Young riders are expected to remain in the session from beginning to end, unless they have to leave early.
  • Any young riders who persistently misbehave or put others in danger will be asked to leave the sessions and will not be allowed to attend in future.
  • It is the parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to ensure that his/her child’s bike is in a safe condition to ride. All riders must wear a cycling helmet at all times during the coaching sessions.

 

Please ensure you make a note of any medical conditions your child has/you feel the coach should know about in Section 3 of this form.  If you have any concerns about your child participating in any form of physical activity, please consult your GP before giving permission for your child to take part in the coaching sessions.
