FIVE ACTIVE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN GROWING CYCLING IN TOWNSHIPS TO HELP ALLEVIATE THE FOLLOWING ISSUES
POVERTY,OBESITY AND REDUCING TRAFFIC

POVERTY

THERE’S A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO USE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF MONEY  ON PUBLIC  TRANSPORT, AS MOST OF THE TIMES TAXIS HAVE SELECTED ROUTES ,SO TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION YOU MUST CATCH ANOTHER TAXI TO GET THERE.SO USING A  BICYCLE TO COMMUTE TO WORK WILL SAVE YOU MONEY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME, AS A  PEDESTRIAN YOU MUST WALK TO THE TAXI RANK,WAIT FOR THE TAXI TO FILL UP BEFORE IT GOES AND THEN IT STOPS TO DELIVER PASSENGERS &PICK UP PASSENGERS.

CYCLING WILL REDUCE TRAFFIC ON THE ROADS ,AS WE KNOW THAT THERE’S A LOT OF CARS ON THE ROADS THAN WE SHOULD HAVE, WHICH MAKES TRAFFIC SLOW AND ALL THAT CAN BE SOLVED IF WE MOST OF US  JUST CYCLE

 

OBESITY

BACK IN THE DAYS OUR PARENTS USED TO STRUGGLE KEEPING US IN THE INDOORS,WE USED TO ENGAGE IN A LOT OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES CALLED PLAY TIME . KIDS THESE DAYS HAVE SMART PHONES,ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM AND PLAYSTATIONS TO KEEP THEM INDOORS

THE WORLD WE LIVE IN THESE DAYS IS NO LONGER SAFE FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY ,THERE’S RECKLESS DRIVING,THERE’S KIDNAPPING, BRUTAL MURDERING OF KIDS AND WOMEN

ALL THOSE ISSUES PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON US, TO KEEP KIDS GUARDED AT ALL TIMES

SO FIVE ACTIVE IN ASSOCIATION WITH URBAN RUINS HAS DEVELOPED A PROGRAM TO GET KIDS CYCLING IN SAFELY GUARDED ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOP MECHANICAL SKILLS WHICH HELPS THEM GET THE BICYCLE MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES

THE NAME OF THE ASSOCIATION IS CALLED URBAN ACTIVE VOSLOORUS

KIDS WILL BE TAUGHT ALL ABOUT CYCLING FROM LEVEL 1 TO 4 WITH A CYCLING CURRICULUM THAT WILL TEACH THEM CYCLING TECHNIQUE,WORKSHOP SKILLS AND TURN THEM TO SUPER CYCLISTS

WE ARE GETTING SCHOOLS CYCLING AND THEN WE SELECT TOP 10 LEVEL 4 FOR RIDERS TO REPRESENT THE SCHOOL IN THE SPUR LEAGUE AND ALL OTHER  RACES
