Following last Saturday’s successful start to the programme, the second Sprocket Rocket cycling skills morning will be held at St Louis School, Rathmines on Saturday at 10am.

A small and enthusiastic group of 7-11 year-olds enjoyed the inaugural Orwell Wheelers promoted event which included a variety of drills focusing on balancing and braking, ably demonstrated by ace bike handler Gary McNulty.

The Sprocket Rocket events promoted by Orwell will run on Saturdays until Christmas. There are plenty of places available, so come along on Saturday mornings between now and Christmas, from 10-11am.

Riders can bring any bike (two wheels) and a water bottle. All riders must wear running shoes and comfortable clothing. Baggy trousers and track pants should be tucked into socks to avoid them getting caught in the bike.
