Getting Kids Off Training Wheels

 

Is there anything more memorable in childhood than learning how to ride a bike? It's a time of pain and glory, scratches and smiles...

Sometimes our lifestyles make us short of time or maybe parents don't quite have the patience to be the best teachers of thier children. I'm sure you know what were talking about! To help the ankle biters become cycling stars of the future we have developed a progression of fun activities to remove those training wheels. Our Off Training Wheels programs have seen great sucess and many family's leave happy and excited about the opportunity to ride together in the future.

We start this program with a quick chat about bike suitability and a safety check. Small repairs will be made on the spot, anything larger and we recommend a suitable bicycle service centre. Afterwards the kids ride with training wheels fitted, once the riding of each child has been assessed we tailor our learning progression to match up with skill levels. These activities help with the correct starting position, keeping feet on the pedals, looking ahead and safe stoping. The progression consists of a range of practise activities which we teach the parents therefore allowing for the continuation of learning at home. Our programs normally see an 85% sucess rate from barely pedalling to riding unassisted.  

 

Key points-

  • We can supply bikes & equipment or bring along your childs for a free safety check.
