Into the Woods Learn to Ride
Learn to ride a bike this summer! These lessons are aimed at beginners (aged 4+) who would like to learn how to independently ride a bike with pedals, or can be used to build confidence for nervous riders.
- Booking essential
- Free event
Join these sessions in Comer Woods with Telford Bike Hub to gain new cycling skills or build confidence.
Where possible we suggest participants bring their own working bike and helmet. Should this not be possible or appropriate, bikes and helmets can be borrowed for the duration of the session at no extra cost. Participants should bring a drink and wear weather appropriate clothing, such as a rain coat, and sunscreen if required.
The session will start with the removal of stabilisers and pedals to effectively turn the bikes into balance bikes. If possible please remove stabilisers and pedals in advance as this will speed up things at the beginning of the session. If you do manage to remove pedals please remember to bring these along to the session. If you can’t, don’t worry as the instructors will have the tools to do this when you arrive.
Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of your session. All children learn at different rates and there is no guarantee that participation will result in children riding. As a rough guide we recommend children attend three Learn to Ride sessions.
These sessions are running as part of Into the Woods - a Summer of Play programme which is sponsored by Starling Bank.
