Learn to Ride

FREE service for 3-6 years

An exciting way of teaching young children how to ride a bicycle!

Because our unique Learn to Ride lessons use specialist balance bikes that don’t have pedals, children can concentrate on the core skills of for easier riding.

Lessons are designed to build confidence, improve balance and provide a sense of independence through the use of fun games and activities.

Our Learn to Ride lessons are developed and accredited by Bikeright!, the largest cycle training organisation in the UK, our staff are fully trained by National Standards Bikeability Cycle Instructor Trainers. Bikeright! train over 20,000 children every year across the UK and Europe.

Our lessons run for an hour a day, six days a week (not Tuesdays) and we offer two levels of learning:

Level 1 - teaches balance techniques on our special range of balance bikes
Level 2 - teaches pedalling and braking on conventional bikes

After each lesson everyone receives a sticker and once they complete the course they get a certificate for their achievement!

Free half day bike hire is offered to all children who attend a Learn to Ride lesson, so they can continue to practice in their own time.
Spaces are limited per session so secure your place by booking at the Mini Fun Station tent (during session time). 

We ask that a parent/guardian is in attendance during the lesson, but they do not take an active part in the lesson. We can accept a maximum of 6 children per session and sessions are subject to availability.

Learn to Ride is available on all our Mini Fun Station parcs, and opening dates vary from 29th April 2013 onwards. PLease see your selected parc page for the exact service dates.
