The Cycle Safety School have been delivering Cycle Training to a range of disability groups with great success for years and we are delighted to work in partnership with them to run this 6 week programme again in April 2024.
This programme is suitable for children between the ages of 5 years - 16 years old who are able to sit on a bike independently.
While every child will have their own learning curve, with active parental support during classes, and frequent home practice between sessions, progress towards independent cycling can be evident from week to week.
It is preferable that your child bring their own bike but there are a small number of bikes available from the Cycle Safety School to borrow. If your child does not have a bike, the instructor can advise you at the first session on bike size, type, etc. Having a bike best suited to the individual is hugely beneficial in succeeding to cycle.
There are 15 places available on this 6 week course .
Venue: Monkstown Educate Together, Kill Avenue, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.
Dates and Time: Thursday 3.30pm - 4.30pm from 11th April - 16th May
Cost: €20/child for the six week course
This course will be run in collaboration with The Cycle Safety School, www.cyclingsafetyschool.com and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Sports Partnership, http://www.dlrsportspartnership.ie/
