... and there were certainly plenty of children eager to jump on a bike at Bexley Primary School's summer fair today, where we were supporting Bexley Bike Club's fantastic BMX skills sessions.

Our role was to welcome families, help parents register their children and invite them to make a £1 donation to school funds, and get the excited young riders kitted out with the right-sized helmets and bikes.

Once everyone was ready, we supervised the warm-up area, making sure each child felt confident using their brakes and steering before heading onto the main course.

Then it was over to the coach, who guided the riders around a fun obstacle course featuring ramps and even a see-saw!

There were lots of smiles as the children tackled each new challenge and grew in confidence with every lap. Some came back to do it all again!

It was a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours supporting a local school and community club and helping young people build new skills.

If you're looking for a fun, flexible way to give back in the local community, why not join us at a future GoodGym task?

Tonight's group session seemed determined to test fate.

First, our original task was cancelled. Then, as if the gods weren't finished with us yet, England's men's football team reached the World Cup knockout stage, with their next match landing squarely on our GoodGym night!

Predicting many of us would be watching the game, Plan B was a litter pick in the beautiful Lamorbey Park for anyone not glued to the telly.

In the end, the litter pick was a solo affair, but every great team starts with at least one player!

By full time, one bag of rubbish had been collected, with lots of litter shown the red card.

As for the football? England secured the win, with Harry Kane finding the net twice. The litter-picking squad may have been small, but both teams can claim a successful result tonight.

Now let's hope England's next fixture remembers that Wednesday evenings are reserved for GoodGym!
