THE METHOD

Balance‑first instruction

Instructors convert a normal bike into a balance bike by removing the pedals, letting learners 'scoot' and build balance before pedals are reintroduced. This progression focuses on balance, steering and braking first—many learners cycle independently after only a few sessions.

FOR ALL

Inclusive, tailored lessons

Private classes are suitable for adults and children of all abilities and the operator has experience teaching people with a range of learning difficulties and balance issues, so lessons are adapted to individual needs.

LOGISTICS

Short, private sessions at a fixed meeting point

Lessons run as private 45‑minute sessions at a set location near the Kinsale Road Roundabout in Cork; bikes can be supplied if required.

What the day feels like

What a lesson feels like

A session moves deliberately from simple to specific: meet the instructor, try gliding and scooting on a pedal‑removed bike to cultivate balance, practise steering and braking, then reintroduce pedals once the rider is comfortable. The pace is individual—many learners take to pedalling after two to three sessions, with the emphasis always on confidence and safety.

Suitability
