Group classes are split into three stages that cover balance control, pedalling and manoeuvring, and safety cycling skills. Private classes are also available at $200 per student for two 2-hour sessions.

5. Doorstep Skating & Cycling

Coach Ryan of Doorstep Skating & Cycling has been teaching adults and kids to cycle (and skate) since 2003. Ironically, he had taught himself to cycle when he was young, so he understands how painful that can be! He offers private cycling lessons for one, two, or a group of up to five students that you form yourself. Learners must be at least six years old. As the name suggests, you can train at any suitable venue that’s convenient for you.

The governing body for the promotion and development of the sport of cycling in Singapore offers beginner classes too. The SCF Academy trains kids from 5 to 17 years in two-hour weekly sessions. It’s a progressive year-long programme, and those who show potential will be invited to train with a national youth squad. They also conduct school holiday camps for kids interested to try out BMX and mountain bike cycling.

Letting your child learn to ride a bicycle is a rite of passage that comes with many benefits. For one thing, it’s an excellent form of exercise that takes them into the great outdoors. You’ll also be imparting a lifelong skill that opens up a world of exploring on two wheels. And going for bike rides as a family is a wonderful bonding opportunity as well.

P.S. Except for SCF Academy, the cycling schools listed above also offer classes for adults. So Mums and Dads who don’t already cycle, you can learn to ride a bicycle alongside your little ones too. Happy cycling!
