PrePedal – early year’s freedom

PrePedal is a new and exciting way of teaching early years children (pre-school and key stage 1) how to ride a bicycle. And because BikeRight! is an accredited instructor training provider we can provide everything that a school or nursery would need to teach young children this valuable life skill.

Because PrePedal uses specialist balance bikes that don’t have pedals it means that children can concentrate on balance and gross motor control needed to perfect riding without having to grasp propulsion, foot and leg positioning as well. Gone are the dreaded stabilisers, as the use of balance bikes removes the need for most children to use them when they progress on to conventional bikes with pedals.

Balance bikes are used all over Europe, especially in cycling-mad Holland  where it is the norm to cycle everyday and not unusual for children to be riding without stabilisers from as young as 3 yeas old.

Our training courses have been developed by qualified National Standards/Bikeability Cycle Instructors and our modules come complete with:

• Training
• Balance bikes
• Children’s helmets
• Optional skills equipment
• Back-up of our instructor training team

The PrePedal courses are designed to build confidence, improve balance, provide a sense of independence and lead naturally on to Bikeability level 1 if this is given during key stage 2 schooling.
