Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Do children need their own bike and helmet?

We recommend that children learn to ride on their own bike but we can provide bikes and helmets for children who don’t have their own. All pupils will be required to wear a helmet during each lesson.

We can also offer a Dr Bike event prior to the course to ensure that children’s bikes are in good working order and safe to use.

Where can the course be held?

Courses can be held outdoors on a school playground or similar tarmac area (e.g. car park).
