Childrens Learn To Ride Courses are offered by The Road Safety Team at Maindy Leisure Centre.

This course is aimed at children who are unable to ride a bike, aged 4-10 years old.
Parents/Guardians are encouraged to stay for each session.
Children will learn in small groups to be able to balance, start, stop and make the bicycle move safely.
If this is achieved, they will then be taught the Level 1 National Standards Cycle Training Objectives.

Level 1 will be taught on the final day using the Road Safety Centre’s road training layout.
This includes:
• checking your bike and your clothing,
• making sure your helmet fits.
• getting on and off the bike.
• starting and stopping safely.
• controlling your bike, and
• be able to control the bike while signalling and looking back

Training is carried out in a traffic free environment.
