The Bikeability ‘Balance’ module teaches riders to balance on a balance bike and can be delivered to pupils from nursery school onwards. You can use games to help riders develop cycle handling and awareness skills off road, moving the bike with their feet rather than with pedals. Riders should be ready to progress to ‘Learn to Ride’ training at the end of this module.

• Be able to put on their own helmet.
