York Sport- Learn to Ride

Activity Description

Our 1:1 Learn to Ride session will get you riding in no time. Sessions are 60 minutes of fun that will have you riding before you know it! Sessions are progressive and for most people with good balance, they will be riding, steering and braking by the end of it. If you don’t have the balance, you might need two sessions to grasp all the basics. Our sessions follow a simple process in which you will start on a small bike that is suitable for beginners.

We then start to glide which helps develop balance, with the help of a gentle slope! We then extend the distance of the glide as you get more and more confident, at this stage we will introduce ‘easy steering’. After you have mastered gliding and steering, we will add braking. You will then progress onto a bike with pedals, continuing to practice and introduce use of the pedals whilst gliding. At this point you will be very close to riding. Once you are riding, steering and braking we will add some cones to practice turning and the final element will be to set off from a stationary position.

We can progress these skills in the second sessions if required depending on how quickly you learn, we aim to master all the basics in their first hour!

All bikes and helmet provided, these sessions are outside so please dress appropriately.
