Children’s Learn to Ride
This class is for children who cannot yet pedal without help or without stabilisers.
Our aim of the course is to get participants pedalling without assistance and experience the fun and enjoyment of moving on two wheels.
We will teach the following skills:
– understanding safety equipment and clothing including helmet
– carry out a simple bike check
– get on and off the bike without help
– pedal without help and stop without help
All ages are welcome, we normally recommend from the age of 4 upwards. We aim for a ratio of one instructor to three / four learners.
Upcoming Classes
We normally run these sessions during the school holidays, keep an eye on the website for the next one. We will also share the info on our social media pages. Facebook and Twitter.
You will need a roadworthy bike to take part and we request that all participants wear a helmet. Bike hire is also available for attendees but is limited, please let us if you need to hire a bike at time of booking. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
*There is a £5 session fee, this is for the cycling tuition and to support the running costs of Cycle South Brum. If you are on a low income or struggling with the cost of the course please get in touch to see how we can help. cycling@ecobirmingham.com
