e love that Victorians are environmentally conscious and enjoy the outdoors. It’s no wonder Victoria is such a bike friendly city! We know it’s a must that your child learns to ride a bike, and we also know you have other factors getting in the way of teaching your child to ride — that’s where we come in. Some people love teaching their kids to ride a bicycle — it can be a fun, exciting and a rewarding bonding experience, especially if the parent is calm and attentive. It’s also helpful if the parent’s teaching style matches the child’s learning style. However, this experience
Since 1995, Pedalheads has been combining exciting lesson plans with amazing instructors and small class ratios.
can also be stressful for both parent and child. Many parents subscribe to the release-and-letthem-try method. These kids frequently maintain lasting memories of broken trust, lack of support, skinned knees and many meltdowns. When we adults ride our bikes, it’s second nature, but there’s actually an overwhelming amount to think about when teaching a child to ride: • balancing • pedalling • steering • starting and stopping • gliding We understand these challenges, not to mention the physical pain
(i.e. tweaked muscles, back pain and exhaustion), and the emotional pain (i.e. anxiety and fear of failure) that accompany this experience. These situations are why we exist. We get it! We hear you! Let us take the burden off. In Saanich, Hillside and Langford, you can enjoy: • a progression of six instructional levels to choose from, • three-hour half-day camps, • seven-hour full-day camps, • private lessons, and • before and after care options.
