Learn to Ride Cycling Course

We are specialists in teaching beginners. Our step-by-step Learn to Ride lessons are ideal for children and adults who have never ridden a bike before and also for children needing help riding without stabilizers or progressing to a stabilizer-free pedal bike from a balance bike . We go at the speed of the learner to develop confidence and vary the activities to make learning to ride a bike a fun experience. Lessons take place on a school playground or large tarmac area to give learners plenty of space and we also offer a Two Together option if there are siblings or friends wanting to learn together. Our Learn to Ride lessons enable a rider to cycle independently at a basic level off-road.

Locations

Learn to Ride lessons take place on a school playground or large tarmac space in a park, which your child will usually have exclusive use of.

“Since having his lesson with you last Friday, Harry has been growing in confidence on his bike! He has been asking to ride it, and he even rode it from our house on Mill Rise nearly all the way to Glottenham nursing home at the weekend! Thank you so much for teaching him. I still can’t quite believe he has picked it up so quickly. I think he probably can do without a follow up lesson, but thank you for letting me know. Next stop, Tour de France!”
Rebecca
“Thanks again for your brilliant teaching and support to get Lani riding! Really appreciate it.”
Sarah
“I booked Nicky for 1:1 lessons with my two children, one who was very anxious and one who had no fear but was struggling with balance. Nicky recognised the unique challenges of each child and adapted her approach while ensuring she covered the basics, and we were amazed at the progress the children made. Nicky has a fantastic way with children and is very talented at her job. Alongside the technical skills, Nicky instilled a real sense of confidence in them which has allowed them to continue to progress their riding skills independently. I highly recommend Nicky and CYCLESAFE.”
Angela
“Thanks for today, the girls had a great time and came away feeling ‘proud and happy’.”
Steph
“Harry loved his lesson on Saturday. His riding has come on so much, I can ride with him now.”
Sam
“Just wanted to say you are quite possibly a miracle worker! I can’t believe how far you have got Sam in just a couple of days. Thank you so much. He has absolutely loved it too and has gone from being really nervous about riding a bike to talking about it with great enthusiasm. Cannot thank you enough.”
Jane
Thank you so much, Denise. you have literally worked miracles with Oscar. I’m amazed at how well he has done and I can’t thank you enough.”
Natalie Iles
“Big thanks too for the lessons, we are amazed at the results because Scarlett lacked confidence on her bike, even with stabilisers. It gave them all the start they needed and confidence. Thank you!”
Rebecca
“Hi Denise, Thank you so much to you and Nicky for this afternoon. both girls are delighted they’re now independent in their bikes – so much so that they got out of bed at 7.45pm and asked to go on a bike ride!”
Sam
“Thanks so much for helping Elliott yesterday, I’ve never seen him so enthusiastic about riding his bike! It’ll be really good to get him up and running independently for the summer.”
Cath
“Just a quick note to say thank you so much for today. Jack loved the session and it has given him the confidence boost he needed. He was only crying at the end as he hurt his parts from braking too quickly! He looks forward to the next session. Fingers crossed you can squeeze him in soon.”
Caroline
“We wanted to say a big thank you for this morning’s lesson. Luca really enjoyed it and now wants to go riding tomorrow!”
Caroline and Jason
“Thank you so much for taking Isla on her little biking journey today, she thoroughly enjoyed herself and has just been telling me all about it before bed! Apparently I have to take her to the tennis court to practice this week!”
