More cyclists coming!

Several children claimed a free 'balance bike' yesterday (supplied by the Bike Station). 

Many children (from the age of about two) learn the basic lesson of bike riding - balance - with a specially designed bike without pedals. 

But (almost) any bike will do - just take off the pedals! For years children have ridden bikes with stabilisers as their first introduction to 'cycling'. 

For most children it's probably an unecessary stage - especially as large numbers also learn about "balance" by using scooters. 

There should be a few more children ready for pedalling by the end of the Easter holiday.
