Fietsschool XS - Cycling lessons for children
Fietsschool Leuven organises cycling lessons for children aged 6 to 12 who cannot ride a bike. In a series of 4 lessons, we teach your child to ride a bike:
- Lesson 1: Cycling skills - keeping balance and finding pedals
- Lesson 2: Traffic skills - riding straight, turning, stopping, slowing down and watching
- Lesson 3: Cycling in the street - exercises that prepare your child for cycling in the street
- Lesson 4: Cycling in traffic - we cycle on the street in a quiet environment
We take your child's level into account. The teachers evaluate after the lessons whether your child is ready to cycle independently on the street.
