Description: This is a beginner’s activity for children who cannot yet pedal a bike who would like to learn how to ride, gain confidence and understand the basics of cycling.

For sunny days please bring sun protection e.g. sunscreen and light layers as well as plenty of water.  Please note due to the nature of these sessions they will be weather dependant and should the winds/rain be very strong on the day causing a hazard coaches will decide whether or not the session is safe to go ahead. If coaches judge the weather to be unsafe to ride in, parents will be informed a minimum of 2 hours before if this is the case and payment can be re-used for another course or refunded.
