If you passed by our school on Saturday morning, you would think you had visited a bicycle exhibition!About 50 bicycles (big or small, with or without training wheels) were running around the schoolyard!
All this happened within the framework of celebrating the "Day without Cars" (22nd September).
For two hours, Mr Kostas was setting up tracks for us to show our talent in pedal and learn how to hit the brakes effectively!
Let me see who's the most skilled rider! | 
"Go!"... |
...in between the cones!!!! | 
...and brake at the right time! |
However, we didn't stop there! After completing the "artistry" exercises, we left our bikes to the side and got informed about the right riding behaviour when we are on a bicycle. To put it simply: to ALWAYS wear a helmet and light-coloured clothes and have our lights on when we drive at night. We left the hard work for the end! A specially equipped team with rolls, special colour and the guidance of our teacher and our headmaster painted the crossing on the east side of the school which had completely faded out!  Two other teams painted signs for the pedestrians and cyclists on the pavement. So as we (especially grown-ups) don't forget that the pavements are...
...much better than a drive in a car...
