I am probably putting myself up for a proper heckling here because a) this could well be the wrong forum & b) any mention of scouts leads to generic grief about why I spend some of my time with boys.
However I have been co-opted by a very skillful operator to assist at the local scout group.
Tonight I have to give a talk / demonstration / hour plus of keeping kids busy about bikes, maintenance, safety etc.
I have some ideas:- how to fix punctures, the joy of using a gas inflator, what tools to carry, how to split & re-join a chain, what emergency kit in the camelback, checking a bike is safe etc.
Does anybody have any bright (& constructive) ideas for helping me fill time & help them learn how to keep their bikes & them in decent order?
Teach em how to fit lights!
setting up and checking brake pads
putting controls and seat at right heights/angles etc.
All makes lots of sense & I had thought of none of them ....keep 'em coming
explain the advantages of maps, first aid, emergency stuff.
