The Neo Learn-To-Ride Program is perfect for anxious non-riders.
Our experienced coaches have most* riders up and going in their first session and begin sharpening their skills in the second session.
*Every rider is different. Some are sharpening their skills within the first lesson while others need more time.

Be careful booking one lesson at a time. -We are often booked out a number of weeks in advance, this means you could end up having lessons more than a few weeks apart.
The single lesson option is normally selected by people who under-book and later realise they need more time.
Levels
There are five levels of achievement. Riders are taught at their own pace. A rider demonstrating competency early is accelerated to the next level, likewise a rider may take a little longer if they need to.
Non-Rider
Most kids start here. Non-riders include those who;
- have never attempted to ride a bike before.
- require training wheels.
- need someone to hold their bike while they ride.
These riders typically require two lessons to ride a bike independently.
Three lessons will more likely produce a confident rider.
You can buy a third lesson later if they need more time, or buy three lessons up front and save. -We can develop them further if they are fast learners.
Basic Rider
Where non-riders learn to ride a bike. They are taught balance, steering, pedalling and braking.
This level is typically achieved in one or two sessions for a non-rider.
Independent Rider
New riders build independence and greater control of their bike.
This level is typically achieved in two sessions for a non-rider, but some need three.
Confident Rider
Riders sharpen their skills between obstacles, over uneven terrain and taught advanced skills to help keep them safe.
This level is typically achieved in three or four sessions for a non-rider.
Safe Rider
Where riders develop an awareness of their surroundings & others in a group environment. This is an essential skill to keep them safe when riding among others.
Efficient Rider
At this stage, young riders are able to maintain a reasonable speed to keep up with mum and dad on a family bike ride. This is done by learning the skills required to ride with a taller saddle position. A taller saddle allows for a more efficient pedal stroke translating into more speed without the child getting tired.
There is also a financial efficiency. Young riders are often on bikes that are too small. Once taught to ride a bigger bike, parents can skip a size when purchasing their child’s next bike.

FAQs
What if I cancel my booking?
You will lose your deposit.
It is understandable if a child or parent can’t attend due to illness -or for many other reasons.
In such cases, we absorb the financial losses on the venue hire, booking fees, merchant fees, management overhead, transport costs etc. That said, the deposit is used to pay the instructor for their time.
We require 10 days notice to reschedule without any financial loss.
Do you have any slots available in the next 12 hours?
Quite possibly, however our booking system will not show us available 12 hours before we start. This is so that we can allow enough notice for our instructors to attend. You can call us (between 6am & 9pm) to see if we have any slots available. -We may be able to work something out.
Why do you recommend three lessons?
Most kids are up and running to an acceptable level in three lessons.
Booking one lesson at a time can lead to long gaps between lessons as we are typically booked out a few weeks in advance.
It’s much cheaper when you book three lessons.
The lessons don’t go to waste. If they do get up and running in two lessons, we move on to more advanced skills.
Do you teach kids with special needs or disabilities?
Yes. A lot of our work is with kids who are living with ADHD, anxiety, ASD, cerebral palsy and dyspraxia.
Do you teach adults to ride?
Yes, its best to call us to negotiate a time and place.
Can you teach multiple kids at the same time?
Yes. We schedule multiple instructors simultaneously so that everyone receives a one-on-one lesson.
Booking into the future normally reveals more timeslots. –Give us a call if you still can’t find enough timeslots. We may be able to roster an extra person on for you.
Where do you run the school holiday program?
We run the school holiday program at Heffron Park, Maroubra from Monday to Friday during school holidays.
You can still visit us on most Saturdays and Sundays (even in school holidays) at Sydney Olympic Park and Concord.
Are you available every day during school holidays?
Almost. Well before the school holidays we only make a couple of days bookable in our system. As our instructors become close to 80% booked we open a third, fourth, or fifth day for bookings.
Give us a call if you know that you’ll only be available on certain days. We may be able to make the next available day one that suits you.
Where to next?
We recommend putting your new rider’s skill into practice as soon as they graduate from the Learn-To-Ride program. That means going for a ride with them in a safe environment or continuing through our very affordable group environment program.
This helps to reinforce their skills while they are still fresh in their mind.
Our Emerging Riders Program allows young riders to put their new skills into practice with other riders of a similar ability in a car free setting.
Priced at $12 per session.
