METHODOLOGY
User guide for equipment
Each piece of equipment requires the clear presence of trained or supervising staff for setup and use. The guide outlines the skills to be developed and tasks, accompanied by photo illustrations. The equipment can be arranged in different sequences, with the guide providing details on possible setups, safe spacing between equipment, directional changes (including the angle of BALANCE equipment), and the direction of movement.
Safety requirements
- Helmet use
- Restrictions for use in snowy or icy conditions
Training for instructors and supervisors
In schools, physical education teachers, supervising staff during breaks, and after-school instructors are trained when the equipment is installed at the school. This training includes practical demonstrations, methodological knowledge, and safety procedures.
Demonstrating cycling skills and road safety knowledge to parents
This aspect is critical to the program's success. Parental trust in their children’s cycling skills and road safety knowledge can only be built if they see the acquired skills in action. The primary means of demonstration is a school-organized showcase, where students demonstrate the full range of skills they have acquired. In Debrecen, a city or school family day held at the VeloPark provides an ideal setting for this demonstration.
