Cycling course for youngsters
THE UK'S only accredited learn-to-cycle programme for young children is being launched at the Woolwell Centre in Plymouth.
'Balanceability' is supported by Olympic Champion cyclist Chris Boardman MBE and is for children aged between two-and-a-half and six years of age.
Being launched at the Centre situated in Darklake Lane on Monday, June 11 and running for six weeks, the Balanceability programme combines unique ergonomic balance bikes with a programme of activity that builds confidence, spatial awareness and balance skills, enabling young children to learn to cycle without needing stabilisers.
Chris Boardman said: "Balanceability is the fundamental starting point for children's cycling and an excellent opportunity to promote active lifestyles at the earliest possible age. I can see it also provides a natural lead into Bikeability for schools and I would encourage all schools to give children the opportunity to use balance bikes."
