Eke Pahikara

 On the 17th of haratua Te Puna Wairua and Talamuka-a-Tonga went down to the boardroom and met Haylee, Jayare, Joe, Sifa and Sam. They all had something to teach us like Sifa he taught us the A.B.C.D.D.Q. The A.B.C.D.D.Q all have a meaning like A stands for air like air in the tire, B stands for brakes like brakes on a pahikara (bikes), C stands for the chain on the pahikara, the two D’s stand for direction and drop and Q stands for quick release. This was mainly for checking to see if there is anything wrong with the pahikara. There were multiple checks like the 4 L’s and the 2.2.4, . The 4 L’s stands for lean, levers, leg over and look, the 2.2.4 stands for 2 fingers above the eyebrow 2 fingers under the china and 4 fingers on the ears, this was mainly for the helmet, 2.2.4 is a way to see if you are wearing your helmet properly. After that we went outside and got split into 2 groups called Kārearea (Hawk) and Kahu (Falcon). I was in Kahu. On the road we learned how to take the lane, turn left and right and how to stop and start. Once we learnt all those we went on the road by ourselves. After all that we headed back to the akomanga.

It was a really interesting at time and I really enjoyed. I enjoyed riding on the bikes, going for rides to Pt. England and going around the block (that was near the kura).
