Learn To Cycle Supported by Frog Bikes

 

A Fun Session to Learn Balance and Coordination for Safe and Successful Cycling

Perfect for children aged 2-11, this session helps young riders build the balance and coordination needed for successful cycling. We encourage learners to work alongside their parents or guardians to boost confidence and develop balance, with the ultimate goal of riding independently without assistance.

Both balance bike riders and those on pedal bikes are welcome - we recommend these sessions for any young rider not able to independently cycle for around a minute without stabilisers or help from their grown-ups.

If you’re an older learner (12+) please check this page for availability.
