Starting to look at after-school cycling clubs locally in the spring so this sounds like a great activity. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11579#post-131886 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 18:26:20 +0000 DeathbyPompino 131886@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Actually, can I jump on this bandwagon and PM me too? I'm setting up a DofE silver/gold cycling expeditions and I'd love some ideas for teambuilding/bike handling.</p> <p>Cheers </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11579#post-131843 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:35:42 +0000 MeepMeep 131843@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's a fantastic idea, Scott. I'm always looking for new and interesting things to do with my Guides so if you've got any information/links that you could share, could I be cheeky and ask that you PM me? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11579#post-131823 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 12:28:24 +0000 Focus 131823@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/air-cadets-learn-the-art-of-formation-flying-on-bicycles-news-photo/2642474">27 Jun 1942 </a><br /> <img src="http://cache1.asset-cache.net/gc/2642474-air-cadets-learn-the-art-of-formation-flying-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&amp;c=IWSAsset&amp;k=2&amp;d=OCUJ5gVf7YdJQI2Xhkc2QPhGNvBhi0%2BFq2XeadCFa4i35RXcGB4i5DY3cRr9KvF36nP%2FCdRozEFf%2FyR0WohTuw%3D%3D"></p> <p>Bandit at 6 o'clock!:<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bov5Vh6Sp9M">Bandit at 6 0'clock!</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11579#post-131817 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 12:02:08 +0000 splitshift 131817@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi all, just thought I would let you all know, as its approaching rememberance time, about an activity that my youth group,( air cadets)did.<br /> During the war, to help with the flying formations, and to increase, explain ,special awareness, the raf used to have newbie pilots on bikes practicing all their stuff ! We recently had our cadets do the same on a local park, lots of very unsuitable bikes, many too wee, or big,but absolutely huge grins, lots of laughing and the kids swapped bikes , just to see what they felt like .<br /> Lots of very happy kids,(and us oldies !)and hopefully some going onward with bike maintenance courses. If I ever work out how to do it Ill post some pics !<br /> Scott </p>
