We're excited to launch our new Kids Learn to Cycle Lessons! These sessions are specially designed for&nbsp;girls and non-binary children aged 5 -12&nbsp;who want to learn to ride a bike or build their confidence cycling. Just like our supportive adult lessons, these classes are friendly, patient, and totally judgement-free. Our experienced instructors will guide them step-by-step in a safe, encouraging environment. You can borrow a bike and helmet from our hub, or bring your own. Parents can either come with the group during the lesson or pop out for some me-time for the hour and then come back to pick your child up. Any questions before booking, contact Katherine at families@womenonwheels.org.uk or call Why this session existsOur Kids Learn to Ride (Girls &amp; Non-binary) sessions are designed to create a welcoming, supportive environment where children who may feel less confident or less represented in mixed-gender activities can develop cycling skills at their own pace. These sessions aim to reduce barriers to participation, build confidence, encourage physical activity, and help children develop independence and a lifelong enjoyment of cycling. We recognise that some children feel more comfortable learning in a group of peers with similar experiences, and these sessions are intended to provide that opportunity in a positive, respectful and encouraging setting. Our instructors focus on creating a safe, inclusive and non-judgemental environment where every participant is treated with dignity and respect. All our sessions are offered on a pay as you can basis. Choose the ticket price that suits your budget.

We can provide mountain bikes for the trip or if you have your own gravel, thick wheeled tourer you will also be OK. We can provide sleeping bags and other sleeping equipment so please don't let this be a barrier for you. Please phone and ask more questions if you are interested and want to know more.
