0:00:05 > 0:00:07MEOW!
0:00:07 > 0:00:08BAA!
0:00:08 > 0:00:11OINK!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13MOO!
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Come on, Maisie.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26There's our bike.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Let's go for a ride.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31This is Maisie and she is four years old.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Maisie's mum has hired a bike for them to ride together,
0:00:35 > 0:00:38and they've come down to the promenade to try it out.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- Maisie, are you ready?- Yeah!
0:00:40 > 0:00:42One, two, three...
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- BOTH:- Let's go!
0:00:44 > 0:00:50This is a tag-a-long bike with a special seat at the back for Maisie.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53# La, la, la, la, la! #
0:00:53 > 0:00:56OK, we're doing all right, Maiz.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59It looks like someone's happy.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Today, Maisie will do something new for the first time,
0:01:02 > 0:01:04but what will it be?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07This is Maisie's memory box.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11It helps her remember all the exciting things that have happened.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14See if you can remember what goes in it today.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18After all that cycling, Mum and Maisie are having a rest.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Did you enjoy that, Maiz? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I think you're ready for a bike of your own.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- What do you think?- Yeah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Wow! Your own bike!
0:01:28 > 0:01:30A bicycle, or a bike, has two wheels,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33and someone who rides a bike is called a cyclist.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37It can be tricky at first when you begin to learn to ride.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41To start with, you can put two smaller wheels, called stabilisers,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44onto the bike to help you find your balance.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Once you're ready, you can take them off.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51It's important to wear a helmet to keep you safe when you cycle.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Maisie and Mum have come to a bike shop to look at bikes,
0:01:56 > 0:01:57so she can learn how to ride.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Hello.- Hello. - What have we come for?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- A bike.- Well, that's good, we've got plenty of those.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Do you want to come and have a look?- Yeah.- OK.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09There are so many different bikes to choose from.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- Which one do you like, Maisie? - OK. You fancy that one?- Yeah.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- What does Mum think? - That one's a little bit too big.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Yeah, I think that's too big. - Just a little bit.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21What about one with a football on it?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25No? Not keen on football. And these are too small now.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- This one...- Yeah, you fancy that one? Let me help you.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Nice choice. It's got a basket.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34That's it. Can you put your feet on the floor for me, please?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Hmm. Great style, but it's a bit too small for you, Maisie.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40We've got one exactly like that, but bigger.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Shall we build it in the workshop? - Yeah.- Yeah, let's go this way.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Helping build your own bike? This is going to be fun!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Let's have a look.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50- ALL:- Wow!
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Look at that. - That's a strange shape for a bike.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Do you want me to open the box?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58You can open the box if you want to.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I wonder what's inside the little box?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- The peddles! - There they are.- Wow.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Wendy fixes the handlebars on and tightens up the brakes,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11while Maisie removes the protective wrapping.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- OK.- It's like opening presents.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Can you come round here and help me, Maisie?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Turn the bike upside down.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Wendy puts on the wheels... - Are you going to help me?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24We need a different size spanner, Maisie.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Maisie, can you spot the right spanner?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- This one!- Does that fit on?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Yes, that's right. And we're going to tighten it up.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33So, right the way round.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Righty tighty. That's it.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Righty tighty.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39You're good at using a spanner.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- That's tight.- That's tight, that's good.- Where's the bell?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45That's the bell. Do you want to see if it works?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- RING! RING! - Yay!
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Nice bell. That's the bike finished.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54The first thing in Maisie's memory box is her new bike.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Now Maisie needs some things to keep her safe while riding.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Are we going to try some helmets on, then?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Find the right size. Shall we try that one?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Oh. I think that one might be too big.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- What do you think?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- That's a nice bright one. - Ooh.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Ta-dah! Can you shake your head for me?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18That's perfect. It doesn't move anywhere.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Do you want to have a look in the mirror?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Cool colour!- We've got a nice bright helmet so we can be seen.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27What else would be good so that we can be seen?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Lights.- Lights! Shall we go and have a look at our lights
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- for your bike?- Yeah.- Yeah? Little one. Flash, flash, flash.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- Shall we try those? Excellent, OK. - Lights are a good idea
0:04:38 > 0:04:40so people can see you in the dark.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45The second thing to go into the memory box is a helmet.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Let's have a look at our bike, shall we?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51We've got our brakes to stop us,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53our peddles to make us go forward...
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- And this! - RING! RING!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Your bell to tell everybody that you're there,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00and your stabilisers while you learn.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Shall we check the lights are working so people can see us?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Look!- Look, it's flashing.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Everybody can see us now. Shall we go?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Yes!- Off we go, then.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10What a lovely bike, Maisie.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Make sure you find a safe place to learn.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Maisie and Mum have come to the park
0:05:21 > 0:05:23so Maisie can learn to ride her bike.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Right, now, while you're at the park, Maiz,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29shall Mummy show you how to ride your bike?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Right, are you going to get on?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Maisie has put on her helmet and some pads.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40One, two, three, go!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Go.- Go on, pedal!
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Pedal!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Pedal! Keep going!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Good girl. Come on.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- You're doing really well, Maisie. - BIKE BELL RINGS
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Turn as you get up here now.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55You're cycling, Maisie - well done!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57That's it, carry on, Maiz.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Which way are we going, Maiz? - This way.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Come on, then, pedal, pedal! Forward. Forward.- Pedal.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05That's it, that's it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06- Pedal.- Pedal.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Right, do you remember your brakes?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- That's it, it use them brakes, good girl.- Whoa!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16You're really getting the hang of this now, Maisie!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Whoo!- There you go!
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Stop!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22See, look where you're going!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I want to get off it.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Keeping your balance is always hard at first, Maisie,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29but your stabilisers stopped you falling over.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Did you enjoy riding your new bike, Maisie?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Yeah.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Were you a little bit scared? - Yeah.- Yeah?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39How about Mummy takes you for a real lesson?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Yeah.- Eh? So you might feel better to ride your new bike.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Yeah, OK?- OK.- OK?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47That's a good idea, Mum.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Maisie has come to a class to learn all about balance,
0:06:57 > 0:06:58as this helps you ride.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Hi, my name's Denise. Welcome today.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I'm going to teach you how to ride your bikes, to balance them,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05and hopefully at the end,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08you'll be able to start riding your bikes without your stabilisers.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11The children do some balancing exercises,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14and then try a balance bike.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Maisie, down the cones, and off you go. Good girl.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19This small bike doesn't have any pedals,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21but it helps you learn how to balance.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Your balance is getting a lot better, Maisie.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25This is good fun!
0:07:25 > 0:07:29At the end of the class, the children are given a certificate.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Maisie, would you like to come for your certificate?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- APPLAUSE - Yay!
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Well done, high five!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Yay! Well done! You were excellent, good girl!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Well done, Maisie. This should help you ride your bike.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47The third item into the Memory Box is the cycle certificate.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Maisie and Mum have come back to the park to get some more practice.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Off you go!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57OK? Come round.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Pedal forward. Watch where you're going.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04You seem to be balancing better since your lesson, Maisie.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06You're doing really well.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I think you're getting this. I think we might take your stabilisers off.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It takes practice to learn how to ride your bike.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16A park is a good place to start.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17It's best to practise with a grown-up,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19so they can help you and keep you safe.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Maisie and mum take off the stabilisers
0:08:23 > 0:08:25to try and ride without them.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Are you ready to give it a go? - Yeah!- Off we go!
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Off we go.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33You can do it, Maisie!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36All right, come on. Pedal.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Can you balance? It looks like you're almost cycling!
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Pedal.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Pedal, pedal, pedal!
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Well done, Maisie - that was a sharp corner!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51You need to balance, Maisie.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54It looks like the bike is tipping over!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57After all that cycling, Maisie stops for a rest.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Did you enjoy that, Maisie?- Yeah.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Yeah? Did you find it a little bit difficult?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Could we put the stabilisers back on?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Yeah, we could put the stabilisers back on.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Let's go for a ride somewhere else.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Putting the stabilisers back on for more practice
0:09:12 > 0:09:14is a good idea, Maisie.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The fourth thing into the Memory Box is her stabilisers.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Maisie and her mum have brought their bikes to the promenade.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- Maisie?- Yeah?- We need to ride our bikes on the cycle path.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34A cycle path is a special path that's especially for bicycles.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Are you OK, Maisie?- Yeah.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Come on, Maisie!
0:09:38 > 0:09:42CLAPPING
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Maisie has turned around to cycle back.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47You're really getting the hang of it, Maisie!
0:09:48 > 0:09:52A bit of practice, and you'll be able to ride without stabilisers!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Are you enjoying it, Maisie?- Yeah!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I like riding my bike!
0:09:58 > 0:10:02What a lovely place to ride beside the sea.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Today, Maisie got her first bike.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Can you remember what happened?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Let's have a look in the Memory Box.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15First, Maisie went to choose a bike.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Next, she picked out a helmet and some lights.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Then, Maisie went to a cycling class to improve her balance.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Finally, Maisie and her mum went on a cycle together.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Today, Maisie got her first bike.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33There's a first time for everything.
