Play on Pedals is a 8 week course which aims to help children develop their confidence and improve their ability in riding a pedal bike by initially teaching them how to properly ride a balance bike.


With conjunction with parents staff will assess the stage the children are at and how they can be brought forward in their cycling abilities. Staff will also provide parent information sessions to outline the programme, answer any questions, recruit parent helpers and provide activities which can be mirrored at home.
The 8 week programme consists of:
Week 1: Naming the parts of the bike
Week 2: Securing the helmets
Week3: Breaking
Week 4: Gliding
Week 5: Steering
Week 6: Mounting and dismounting
Week 7: Balance, Slow speed & control
Week 8: Pedaling
At the end of the 8 week, children may or may not be able to pedal their bikes, however they will all receive a certificate for all their hard work and staff would ask that parents continue to support children in their cycling abilities.
