Cycling holidays with Colsubsidio!

We are very happy with the results of the Cycling Holidays project that we developed together with Colsubsidio in the Luis Carlos Sarmiento Velodrome at the Unidad Deportiva El Salitre in Bogotá. It was spectacular!

For two months, more than 80 children affiliated to this entity participated in recreational and sports activities around the bicycle, the most precious toy and a powerful tool for social transformation.

For Michel Pizarro, Colsubsidio’s community consultant, «it’s very important to carry out this type of activity. When we take the FUN Chaves school to the children of our affiliates we see great receptivity and connection, the adres are happy and the children have fun».

We work in two groups, initiation and advanced according to the level of each participant. We learned about how it works and how a bicycle is composed, how to behave on the street on your bike, since exercising citizenship as road agents we consider it very important. We also passed on to the children was the care and maintenance they should have with their bike. In addition, we played and practiced exercises that improved skills and abilities.

«It was really nice to see so many kids having fun and being a part of these events. Some were with road bikes, others with a moped, the smallest still with the support wheels. It was something very nice. They left behind that seed that motivates them to continue their sporting process», says Wilson Sandoval, FUN Esteban Chaves sports director.

For the closing we organized a festival of gymkhanas in which they competed against the stopwatch on a circuit with a series of stations. A test, technique and skill on two wheels.
