Lose the Stabilisers
All day Saturday and Sundays, some sessions during school holidays, and Thursday evenings after school
Cost (from January 2023): £18 for a 1:1, half-hour session. Must be booked!
One to one, half-hour sessions to teach your child to ride without stabilisers. Led by our experienced coaches to a tried and tested method, your child will have a relaxed and happy session getting to grips with cycling on just two wheels! Lose the stabilisers runs all day Saturday and Sunday.
Your child will need a bike, bike helmet and be wearing clothes suitable for riding. At the start of the first session the coach will carry out a check of the child’s bike to ensure it is in a suitable working condition. If you do not have a suitable bike you can hire one for the session for an additional £5.
The sessions are suitable for children up to age 12. If your child is older than this, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
