Week 5 - Cycling Proficiency: Safe Turning and Junction Skills
20th May 2026
This week in cycling proficiency, we practised turning left and right onto a main road safely. We learned to check over our shoulder, signal clearly, and position ourselves properly before making a turn. When turning left, we stayed close to the side of the road, and when turning right, we moved towards the centre of the lane and waited for a safe gap in traffic. We also practised stopping correctly at a junction with a stop sign, making sure to come to a complete stop, put a foot down, and look right, left, and right again before moving off.
