Balance Bike training, educating children through physical activity
Balance bikes are a brilliant way to combine fun with learning for young children taking their very first steps into learning to ride a bike. Our pedal‑free bike sessions help children develop balance, coordination, and confidence, while gently introducing basic traffic awareness, caution, and situational understanding.
Fast replacing traditional stabilisers, balance bikes make the transition to a pedal bike smoother and more natural.
Our sessions are designed for children under five and focus on building skills in a safe, supportive, and playful environment. Led by Play Leader, Tracey, each session removes the pressure from learning to ride and replaces it with encouragement, confidence‑building activities, and lots of fun.
Children can expect interactive and gently challenging sessions, designed to grow confidence at their own pace.
Adult participation is essential
We encourage adults to join in with the fun, your involvement plays a key role in supporting confidence, learning, and enjoyment.
Bonus playtime
As part of the session, the soft play area is open for attendees, giving children the opportunity to enjoy free play alongside others taking part.
*For this session we promote road and individuals safety and advise/ ask participants to bring a riding helmet to take part.*
