1st Gear

What will my child learn? 

• How to fit their helmet correctly. 
• How to run a bike safe check. 
• The Power Position - how to start a bike from a stand still. 
• The Powering Glide – how to move from pedalling fast to rolling without pedalling. 
• How to brake safely in an emergency. 
• How to signal left and right with their hands when the bike is stopped. 

How will this help in real life? 

• It’ll help your child avoid collisions in emergency situations – like if a dog runs out into your path. 
• Aching backs will be gone! Your child will be able to start and stop their bike on their own, so no more stooping down for parents. 
• They’ll have enough skills to keep up on a family bike ride, on a bike path.
