MINI WHEELERS BALANCE BIKE SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAMS

Learning how to ride builds confidence, character, and coordination. Balance bikes (bikes without pedals) are a great way to improve a child’s balance, control, and awareness skills. After practicing and perfecting these skills on a balance bike, the transition to a bike with pedals is easy.

Mini Wheelers uses exciting games and activities to build the balance, control, and awareness skills. Each session is limited to five children, which means our experienced early years AusCycling Instructor can spend more time with each rider.
