How Our 1-to-1 Sessions Work
Step 1: Balance first We start on a balance bike — no pedals, no pressure. This builds the steering and balance skills that make everything else click into place.
Step 2: Add the pedals Once balance feels natural, we introduce pedalling: starting, stopping, and that first solo push-off.
Step 3: Ride independently With pedalling sorted, we build confidence through cones and simple challenges until riding solo feels easy.
Step 4: Gears and brakes Finally, we cover gear changes and braking control, so you’re ready for hills, trails, and longer rides beyond the session.
Don't just take our word for it....
“Ben was amazing! He has a brilliant calming aura about him, my daughter felt comfortable straight away. He made sure he explained everything so she was able to understand, he was brilliant with his positive encouragement! Within 20minutes my daughter was riding a bike! He then spent the rest of the lesson building her confidence. Best money I have ever spent!”
“We had such a fantastic experience at the Learn to Ride lesson at the Cyclopark! The instructor Henry was incredibly patient, friendly and connected straight away with my son, who had always been very nervous about riding on his own. To our amazement, he was off and riding confidently within just 15 minutes of the lesson!”
“Had a fantastic experience this week when I booked my daughter in to learn to ride a bike. we were greeted by friendly staff then was introduced to James W who I must say was one of the most politest and professional young man I’ve ever meet. James had my daughter riding on her own within 25min which amazed me considering we’d been trying to teach her for the last 9 months, he also gave her huge amounts of encouragement and praise which really helped her with her confidence.”
