I joined this project as i don't like not having anything to do. With the project i managed to keep myself busy for two evenings a week. Having something to dedicate to kept my mind busy. Working on one bike that i knew i could take home kept me motivated and i felt i had achieved something when i took it home to show off. The road safety lessons were the most important, as London streets are very dangerous. Some people who drive cars are very dangerous. I saw one boy driving very, very fast, so i need to know what to do to avoid people like that. Freewheel was fantastic! It was the first time i cycled with so many people. We all stuck together and i learnt everything like how to ride in groups. Normally you can't ride in central London as it is too dangerous. Everyone was together as we saw everything in London. Waterloo, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace. I learnt how to tell when The Queen is home. The flag was flying so I wondered if she was watching the thousands of people cycle round in front of her house. I want to know all the streets of London with my bike and then on the weekend take my bike outside of London which will make me very, very happy. I like the project because I feel free.
Hamid.
