CycleSafe Learn to Ride is a step by step programme which develops confidence, and competence . We work at the speed of the child and don’t move on to the next step until we feel they are ready.

Your child will start by learning to scoot the bike without pedals to develop balance and braking skills. (We ask parents to remove the pedals before the lesson using a no. 15 spanner and to lower the saddle so the child can place their whole feet comfortably on the ground). Once they are moving the bike confidently by “scooting” and “gliding” and able to use brakes, exercises are carried out with one pedal on. When the second pedal is added your child is encouraged to pedal with a little light support if needed until the point they are ready and confident to pedal independently.

We include games in the lessons to develop confidence and to make learning to ride a bike a fun and positive experience.
