Mohammed speaking to Stabroek Sport, said that this year the clinic started on 14th July and is expected to finish on 6th September. Interested cyclists should come down and learn the art of proper riding and the only thing they have to walk with is a bicycle as the clinic is free of cost.

Meanwhile, Mohammed said that age does not matter as anyone, young or old, may come. He added that during the August holidays there is a full two-month period of coaching for school children. The  clinic runs for two and a half hours  daily with some riders going on Tuesday and Thursdays and some on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.
