Is your child ready to learn to ride with confidence? This engaging workshop is designed to help young kids and their grown-ups navigate the exciting transition to pedals and independent riding. Led by experienced instructors, the session creates a relaxed and encouraging environment where children develop balance, coordination, and the skills to start pedalling.
Training wheels and pedals will be removed at the start, with bikes set up specifically for learning. Pedals will only be reattached when the child is ready, and many participants will be pedalling by the end of the session.
All abilities are welcome. Younger children may find the full session a bit long, and leaving early is absolutely fine. Every child will leave empowered with knowledge and strategies to keep practicing confidently at their own pace.
This collaborative workshop requires parent participation. Parents and carers will learn how to support their child's riding journey, including what to practice, how to identify readiness for pedals, and bike setup for success. A responsible adult must be present on-site during the session.
Participants should bring a roadworthy bike with working brakes, a correctly fitting helmet, weather-appropriate clothing, and a can-do attitude. Children must be able to touch the ground flat-footed while seated on their bike. A slightly smaller bike is better than one that is too big for learning.
The session runs from 10:00 to 12:00 with registration starting at 9:45 AM. Spaces are limited and bookings are essential, with cancellations required if unable to attend.
The workshop takes place at Brush Farm Park, Lawson Street, Eastwood, NSW 2122. The venue is accessible and suitable for families with young children. Parents are encouraged to arrive on time to ensure a smooth start.
Brush Farm Netball Courts serve as the meeting point for the session. The park offers ample space for children to practice riding safely in a supportive environment.
Public transport and parking options are available nearby, making it convenient for families to attend.
Registrations are essential and limited to ensure quality instruction. Parents must communicate any medical, physical, intellectual, social, or emotional considerations prior to participation to allow appropriate support.
The City of Ryde requires a responsible adult to be present on-site during the workshop. Participants may be photographed for promotional use.
In case of adverse weather, the event may be cancelled or relocated indoors if possible, with notifications sent via email or text. Failure to attend without cancellation may affect future bookings.

Parents must cancel tickets promptly if unable to attend to free spots for others. Walk-ins may be accepted if space permits but are not guaranteed.
