We had a great time visiting Harry F. Abate last week with GObike Buffalo!

Students learned important biking skills, including:
✅ Why it's important to ride with traffic
✅ Staying to the right
✅ Scanning for vehicles and being aware of their surroundings
✅ Other tips to help them ride safely and confidently

This may seem like a lot of information for students in 3rd-6th grade, but many students shared that they are already riding their bikes in the street. That makes it even more important to teach them the skills and knowledge they need to stay safe.

We wrapped up our presentation with a helmet demonstration to show just how much a helmet can protect your head in the event of a crash.

We look forward to sharing more bike safety education throughout the Niagara Falls community and helping more residents ride safely and confidently.

We had our first crochet class this week!

Since most of us were learning for the very first time, let's just say it wasn't 100% relaxing at first 😅. There were definitely a few knots and tangled yarn, but once we got the hang of it, some of us started to find the rhythm.

Learning a new skill takes patience, and we're proud of everyone who showed up, gave it a try, and stuck with it!

A huge thank you to Vonna Brown for leading the class and sharing her knowledge with us.
Next week is our Paint and Sip on Thursday and a Twerk Dance Class on Saturday
