WHO THE CYCLING SCHOOL IS FOR
Cycling is learnt lesson by lesson.
At the cycling school, pre-school children learn balance, braking and the basics of traffic. You can choose a kindergarten group programme or seasonal open lessons.
Open cycling lessons
Cycling school lessons for children outside the kindergarten group programme. Groups, times and registration depend on the season's timetable.

OUR APPROACH
Confidence comes in small steps.
Nobody becomes a confident cyclist in a day. We start with simple exercises, notice progress and learn to pay attention to other riders too.
- Playful, age-appropriate tasks
- Children help and encourage each other
- Balance and agility
- The basics of traffic
WHAT YOUR CHILD LEARNS
Three things we practise at the cycling school.
Choose a topic to see the exercises that go with it. These are examples – the actual lesson depends on the children's skills.
Every small success counts.
Balance and confidence
We learn to keep the bike under control: starting, stopping and practising the right riding position.
Agility comes through play.
Changing direction and precision
We ride between cones, make turns and learn to look where we want to go.
I notice. I think. I ride.
Traffic signs and awareness
We get to know traffic signs and play through simple situations of giving way and choosing a direction.
TRAFFIC SIGNS AND MARKED COURSES
Signs, courses and cones as part of the game.
Cycling school isn't just riding in a straight line. Cones, traffic signs and marked courses get children riding attentively.
