Learn To Ride Program

The Neo Learn-To-Ride Program is perfect for anxious non-riders.

*Every rider is different. Some are sharpening their skills within the first lesson while others need more time.

Levels

There are four 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;

  • who have never attempted to ride a bike before.
  • will not ride a bike without training wheels.
  • need someone to hold their bike while they ride.

These riders typically require two lessons to ride a bike independently. -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.

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.
