$235.00 (including GST)

The ratio is one instructor for every two children. If your child needs one-to-one instruction there will be an additional charge of $105.00 for the seven classes.

Bikes and Safety Gear

Depending on your child’s level of riding we may ask you to provide a bicycle or they may be riding one of our special training bikes.  Please contact Laura before the sessions begin so that this decision can be made ahead of time. We can also help you determine whether your child’s bike fits properly.  Advance preparation will allow us to spend more time on instruction.

Helmets are mandatory! Children without helmets will not be permitted to participate for safety reasons.  
Children who will be riding the two-wheelers must also wear elbow and  knee pads (such as those worn for rollerblading)

Parental Involvement

Learning to ride is a difficult skill requiring much focus and concentration. We understand that parents would like to watch and cheer  their children on but we find this distracts the children and makes learning more difficult. We ask that parents leave promptly at the beginning of each class and return when classes are finished, giving us the full hour to work with the children.  We would be happy to discuss the progress of the children outside of class times.
