Activity details

Ready Set Ride - Pedals teaches children the skills require to ride a pedal bike with confidence. Children take part in a series of activities designed to teach the vital skills of balance, steering, pedaling and braking that will enable them to develop their confidence and independence on two wheels.   

The activities can be delivered in small groups or whole classes. Alternatively they can be delivered on a one to one basis at home or in school. 

Other than a pedal bike, the only equipment that is needed can be found in the home or school.   

Ready Set Ride - Pedals is the perfect way for children to learn the skill of being able to ride a bike and confidence and personal development benefits this brings.
