Bike riding classes for children?

[Wanhope]

I am conceding defeat in trying to teach my 6 1/2 year-old to ride his bike without stabilisers and will now happily pay someone else to do it. Does anyone have any local instructors/ companies they would recommend? Have looked at one that operates from Catford (Pedal Project), but it's booked up till Jan. Many thanks in advance.

If you live in Southwark some free lessons here https://www.cycleconfident.com/sponsors/southwark/

They do one:one or group sessions, my daughter learnt with them during a group holiday course probably about the same age of your child.

We also did the free lessons through Southwark but individually not as a group.

They were very good and my daughter was riding after the 3rd lesson.

Herne Hill Velodrome has Learn to Ride sessions for 6+. Details can be found here: http://www.hernehillvelodrome.com/kids/

Their other sessions are great, so I expect the Learn to Ride ones are just as useful. Good luck!

I can strongly recommend the cycleconfident lessons. They are held in school holidays and at half terms, and the next lessons in Southwark look to be in February half term.
