How a teacher's love of cycling and a nation-wide call for donations started Yarralin's first bike club

How a teacher's love of cycling and a nation-wide call for donations started Yarralin's first bike club | Physical and Mental Health - Exercise, Fitness and Activity | Scoop.it
From www.abc.net.au - April 30, 2022 2:11 AM
Barefoot with helmets strapped tight, speeding past ageing houses and along dusty red tracks, dodging stray dogs and potholes, the kids revel in cheers from the sidelines.

It is race day in Yarralin, and almost everyone in town has come to watch.

Parents yell encouragement from their fences, one of the local police officers acts as the unofficial timekeeper and the Mayor is there to rally the cyclists across the finish line.

It is a handicap race for all ages and abilities, on donated bikes that are wearing out quickly from overuse.
Peter Mellow's insight:

Such an uplifting story in these troubled times. Well done all round!
