King David Sandton takes World Bike Day for a spin
The learners and teachers at King David Primary School Sandton enjoyed a fun-filled day celebrating World Bike Day.
It was a fun-filled day for the learners at King David Primary School Sandton as they celebrated World Bike Day.
Inducted onto the global calendar in 2018, World Bicycle Day is increasing in its support with over 56 countries participating from around the world.
The benefits of cycling for children are immeasurable, from exercising the cardiovascular muscles, to strengthening their emotional wellness and even enhancing their social skills.
With this in mind, school head Lynne van Dellen partnered with Cycle Lab and Planet Fitness to bring World Bike Day to the school campus.
The learners enjoyed learning about the benefits of cycling all while participating in various activities and riding on various loan bicycles provided by Cycle Labs.
Planet Fitness provided water bottles and stationary bikes, ensuring that all of the children were included.
“Safety was top priority on the day – no helmet, no ride rules applied to everyone, including our visiting South African Triathlete, Elize Niewenhuizen, who competed in each of the various grade fun rides,” said the school’s marketing liaison Geordie Nicholls.
