WORKSHOP 10: GET BUSY WITH IT – BMX!

To keep things (bikes, car, us!) running smoothly we need to do some maintenance from time to time. If we are talking about a friendship it might mean checking in to see if someone is ok if you haven’t heard from them for a while.

When we think about bikes we always need to make sure we are taking care of our gear so they;

  • Stay in good working order
  • Don’t break from neglect
  • Don’t cause a crash or injury through failure.

Today we will be revisiting the ABBCD Check as well as teaching you how to change a tyre.

The ABBCD Check stands for:

A – Air
B – Bar plugs
B – Breaks
C – Chain
D – Drop!

QUESTIONS: Get into groups, grab some tools and see if you can repeat the steps to take the wheel of a bike like you were going to change the tyre.

INTEROCEPTION: LET’S GO NUTS

Grab a spanner, try and tighten the wheel nuts, how does it feel? Where did you feel it? What did you feel?
