Who for?

Our Improvers Course is designed for children aged 5-10 years old who can already ride a bike with pedals by themselves and would like to develop their skills and confidence further.

Course description

The course (4 x 1 hour sessions) will teach children a number of more advanced skills through a range of fun activities and games.

The course will teach riders the following skills:

  • Controlling speed
  • Riding in a group
  • Using gears
  • Setting off
  • Advanced cornering
  • Taking a hand off the bars
  • Racing skills
  • Bike, helmet and clothing checks

The course will also prepare children to learn how to cycle on the road in the future (not covered during this course).

All sessions are held outdoors in a traffic free area.
