We cycle all year round with our children but now that spring has arrived, we have an extra focus on children developing their skills on the balance bikes. Sam supported a group with bike maintenance. Children cleaned the bikes and oiled the chains, they checked the tyres and Sam checked the seats were the right height. They also checked the helmets were not damaged by looking closely at them. Once the balance bikes were ready, children fitted their helmets and an adult checked they were safe (it is so important children wear helmets and develop positive cycling behaviours). Children have been supported to develop their balance and skill in scooting, coasting and navigating space. For some children it was also about developing confidence as well. Many children are now able to use the balance bike with skill and are mastering their skills before they move onto our pedal bikes. Remember you can borrow a bike and helmet over the weekend. You can visit the VeloPark at Stratford: click here. Also, ladies look out for Cycle Sisters in the local area: a wonderful charity who teach Muslim women to cycle. Click here for more.
