About the program
A 6 week bike program to teach children to ride their bike with or without training wheels to improve their overall balance and coordination. This will be run by two physiotherapists with knowledge in different childhood conditions and experience with teaching children how to ride their bike.
Children will learn the basics of riding a bike, starting from the bikes function to independent riding with or without training wheels. Children will undergo a cycling skills checklist and bike fitting. Children and families will be provided with practical guidance to continue to build on their bike riding skills at home.
This group is for children who:
- can walk independently
- can follow 2-step instructions
- own their own bike and helmet.
Parents are required to participate.
