The Bike Project: Fixing the Tricycles

We held a class meeting to talk about our nest steps with the Bike Project.

Mr. Danny and Mr. B joined our meeting and took note of the problems the children shared about the older bikes in the playground.

• The front wheels are wobbly.
• Some bikes don’t have the pedals.
• Some bikes don’t have the rubber sleeves on the handles.
• The seats are moving around.
• The back tyres are wobbly.
• Some of the screws at the bottom of the trikes are not tight enough.

A team went back to the design room to bring the tools they needed. They were HEAVY!

Then, the expert mechanics got to work with their eager assistants, tightening nuts and bolts, fixing the wobbly seats and adjusting the wobbly wheels. 

The mechanics took the bike for a test run to see if there were any more problems that needed their attention. The ride was smooth!
