On the day they will deliver FREE learn to ride and skills development sessions for pre-school and school age children. instructors will be there teaching children on using both balance bikes and pedal bikes (they also supply helmets). No booking is required, and the instructors will cater the activity and equipment used to the age and skills of your child.
