Get Pedal Ready

Children's cycling classes in the southeast of England

Get Pedal Ready is a cycling class service aimed at children aged 4 to 12. Its approach focuses on two-hour sessions in which children learn to ride a bike, with a friendly, no-pressure approach. The company operates in the southeast of England and offers the option to repeat the class for £20 if the child needs more time to consolidate their learning.

The instructor: Charlie, founder and sole coach

The project is led by Charlie, founder and sole coach of Get Pedal Ready. He has more than ten years of experience as an instructor and is Level 2 qualified by British Cycling. He also holds an enhanced DBS check and first aid training. The company presents itself as a self-run business, not a franchise.

Learning methodology

Sessions begin with a calm, encouraging welcome so that children feel comfortable and ready. Skills are taught through play: participants work on balance, braking, steering and control through adapted activities and challenges. Learning is broken down into simple stages, so that each child progresses at their own pace and celebrates their progress. The approach prioritises a positive, pressure-free environment, where children can try, wobble, laugh and try again.

The main offering is two-hour group classes for children aged 4 to 12. The company also offers one-to-one (1:1) classes, as stated on its website. Sessions are held at various locations in the southeast of England, although the available information does not detail specific addresses.

Practical information

The website includes a session timetable and a form to book a place. The company maintains a mailing list to send updates and promotions. The price for repeating a class is £20, as advertised on the page.
