BOOKING REQUIRED – Dates and Times TBC very soon!
Perfect for children who have just started to ride or are currently learning and feel a little nervous or wobbly on a bike.
We are working in partnership with ‘Friends of Bournville Park’ who have secured funding to provide FREE summer cycling sessions. In this session children will learn the following skills: (subject to timing and current ability)
- Understanding safety and equipment including helmets
- Carry out a simple bike check
- Pedal without help and stop without help
- Steer the bike properly and make it go where you want
- Brake properly and smoothly, without skidding
- Look all around while cycling
- Control the bike with one hand
- Cycle with consideration for others including vulnerable pedestrians, dogs, etc
- React safely to emergencies and maintain control of the bike
Participants will need their own bike and helmet to take part. We do not recommend the use of stabilisers for children as they are not the best way to help the child to learn the necessary skills.
Children learn differently and some take longer than others. You may need to attend more than one session to complete the whole course.
