Hello All!

Hi,
try http://www.luvhandles.co.uk/culture/tra ... e-beginner.
Mercedes the instructor is lovely.
She tought my son (4 years) how to cycle in one hour! Important to mention he didnt have a balance bike.
She also tought him how to use breaks properly, how to avoid obstacles, how put his feet on peddle without looking when starting, etc.
I can highly recommend Luvhandles.

Good luck!

Herne Hill Velodrome run training sessions (not on the main velodrome) for kids of all ages.

Our 6 y/o benefited greatly from their tuition.

From the website

Frog-Bikes Cycling Sessions (4 - 8 year olds)

Herne Hill has teamed up with lightweight kids' bike brand, Frog Bikes, to give children aged between 4 and 8 the chance to participate in some special sessions on the 250m junior track on Thursday evenings 5-6 pm. The hour-long sessions, which will cost £3, will introduce youngsters to the basics of bike riding and will give them the opportunity to both develop and practice their general bike handling and cycling skills. Frog Bikes have kindly donated a fleet of their bikes for the young riders to use during the session, or alternatively they will be more than welcome to bring their own bike along to learn on.

Why don't you pop in the bike shop on Northcote near the Bollingbroke? They're family orientated. Also check Wandsworth.gov.uk as they might have community sessions as many councils do.

Hi There

I was just wondering if anybody knew of any cycling instructors in London whoi could help my son learn to ride a bike. He can balance for a few seconds but then comes off. I have tried tirelessly throughout the summer holidays but its justquie stressful for both of us, especially as most of his mates can now ride a bike without stabalisers, so he wants to be just like them.

I have taken the pedals off his smaller bike to make this into a balance bike, but he is too big for it!

Any recomendations would be received with open arms!

Thanks

Busy Working Mum
