Eva's Pedal Power's Medway Cycling School caters for all abilities, and is dedicated to getting you on a bike and riding safely. When a beginner comes to a lesson they normally start on a balance or a adapted bike In most cases we can provide the bike, so you will only need to bring any safety gear (like helmets etc.) Once the child/adult learns to balance I then introduce them to a bike with pedals and help them to cycle with guidance and support from myself to ensure safety. Sometimes the children/adults learn in their first lesson sometimes it takes longer. In the advanced sessions for children /adults, we teach Bikeability skills , formally known as ("cycle proficiency") You will be taught: Road Positioning How to approach junctions Navigating Roundabouts. Traffic lights Zebra crossings Safe Cycling All lessons are held safely on the road with traffic.
