🚲 CAN ALL OF YOUR YEAR 5 & 6 PUPILS RIDE A BIKE?

When Bikeability level 1 & 2 comes into school, pupils need to be able to ride a bike independently to take part in the cycle training.

But what about the children who can’t ride yet?

💛 That’s where BalanceFun can help.

I’m now offering 1:1 Pre-Bikeability Cycling Support in schools for Year 5 & 6 pupils who are not yet able to pedal and ride independently.

The aim is simple: help pupils learn to ride before Bikeability arrives, giving them the opportunity to take part alongside their classmates.

🚲 30-minute 1:1 sessions during the school day
🚲 Bike & helmet provided
🚲 Delivered on the school grounds
🚲 Balance, gliding, pedalling, starting, steering & stopping
🚲 A short programme of sessions tailored to each pupil’s individual starting point and progress
🚲 Reduced rates available when supporting multiple pupils at the same school

Every child learns at a different pace, so support can continue across a number of sessions to give each pupil the time they need to develop the skills and confidence to ride independently.

🏫 Schools, teachers & PE leads: If you have upcoming Bikeability training and pupils who currently cannot ride independently, please get in touch to discuss how BalanceFun can support them.

🥹🚲 This is what we love to hear!

A parent sent me this video on Sunday with the message:

“First thing he asked for when he woke up was to ride his bike!” 💙

Seeing riders leave their sessions feeling confident, excited and actually wanting to get back on their bikes is what BalanceFun is all about.

Keep riding, superstar! 🌟🚲

🚲 Week 2 Complete! 🚲

Another great week for our Balance Bike and Learn to Cycle riders! ⭐

Our Balance Bike group worked on movement and spatial awareness, building confidence to lift both feet off the floor and glide, while developing their balance and control.

Our Learn to Cycle group focused on becoming more confident on two wheels, introducing foot positioning, shifting body weight onto the pedals and the first stages of pedalling.

Lots of individual progress this week, with every rider working at their own pace and building confidence along the way. 🚲

Halfway through — bring on Week 3! 🙌

🚲 Why do we start with a balance bike before learning to pedal?

Because pedalling is only one small part of learning to ride a bike!

Before adding pedals, children need to develop the foundations of cycling:

⭐ Balance – learning to keep the bike upright independently
🚲 Gliding – lifting both feet and confidently moving forwards
↩️ Steering – controlling where the bike goes
🛑 Braking – learning how to stop safely
👀 Awareness – looking ahead and navigating around other riders and obstacles
💪 Confidence – feeling comfortable and in control of the bike

Once a child can confidently glide, steer and stop, adding the pedals is often a much smaller step.

That's why at BalanceFun, we don't rush to put the pedals on. We build the skills underneath first.

Balance first. Pedals second. Confidence throughout. 💚
