The Brimbank Bicycle Education Centre was a flurry of activity last Tuesday.

About 50 prep students from St Albans East Primary School were joined by St Albans Secondary College students as part of a big brother-big sister program, with the older students helping the younger ones.

Brimbank mayor Bruce Lancashire and St Albans MP Natalie Suleyman were also in attendance with the past president of the St Albans Rotary Club which helped start the centre 30 years ago.

The centre’s Neil H ?? said it was a really good day connecting the St Albans community together with centre build on what used to be the edge of St Albans.

He said all the children got a lot out of the day.

“Less than 10 of the kids had rode a bike before,” he said.

“It teaches them how to ride a bike and along with road safety. That is what w are focused on and how to use a shared path.

“Riding a bike is a good skill to have and they all had a good day.”
