We’ve been working with children for well over 10 years now, delivering sports coaching to kids between the ages of 1 and 10.
And it was a number of years ago, when we were running summer camps that featured scooters and pedal bikes, that we had a realisation:
Lots of children really struggle to ride without stabilisers.
We spoke to lots of parents about the issue, and it became clear that the reason why so many children were struggling to ride without stabilisers was that their parents and caregivers just didn’t know how to help them move past that stage.
Knowing just how important learning to ride a bike is for health, fitness and independence, we wanted to do our bit to change that, so we started working with a company called Balanceability, and training our coaches to deliver a cycle coaching method that actually works.
The rest is history – we quickly realised that this method is able to take unsteady children, who lack confidence on two wheels, and quickly turn them into confident two-wheeled cyclists, with no stabilisers, in just a few classes.
For us, it was hugely rewarding, knowing that we’d played a key role in such an important life skill, and helped the kids in our care to develop independence, enjoy freedom and join in with their older siblings and the rest of their family.
With that method truly proven, our goal now is to share it with as many children and parents as possible, and help many more hundreds of children to cycle on two wheels, with no stabilisers, and experience the freedom that comes as part and parcel of that.
Highly recommend these guys, taught my very reluctant 6 year old to ride his bike within a few days and loved every second! Thank you Davie.
Amelia really enjoyed her balanceability course last week! We’ve had lots of practice on her pedal bike with no stabilisers now and she’s doing great! Can’t believe how far she’s come in a week.
Amazing! My son Danny completed the level 1 balance course and a 1 to 1 with coach Davie and is now riding his bike with confidence!! Thank you so much.
I booked my 4 year old onto the balance bike course for a week and he loved it. The progress he made (and the whole group) was amazing to watch. The progress was so quick and the coach was relaxed, knowledgeable and fun. I booked a 1-1 session for a few weeks after in the hope that we might try getting him on his peddle bike with no stabilizers. Within about 4 minutes the coach had got him riding independently, it was amazing. I would suggest anyone with a little person to attend the course or 1 to 1 for a bit of extra confidence. Can’t fault it. Thank you
Coach Davie was recommended to us and I 100% recommend him too!
After a week’s course on the balance bike, my 5 year old daughter was able to cycle independently within 10 minutes! Whether you book the balanceability lessons or the 1-1 sessions you will not be disappointed. Coach Davie is patient, reassuring and most of all fun and my daughter really responded to him. So a big big thank you to coach Davie.
My daughter has muscle issues and lacked confidence in her balance. In two sessions she was riding her bike with no stabilizers confidently and moving onto the next step without being told. Her instructor was patient and tailored her lesson to her individual needs. A very happy young lady.
Our 9 year old has lacked the confidence to balance properly on his bike. We booked him on the week long balanceability level 1 sessions to go back to basics.
What a difference a week with Davie has made, he has gained so much confidence this week, he has gained so much confidence this week, its amazing, super proud and so pleased we made the choice to have lesions with Davie, wish we did it sooner
Thank you so much to Davie, looking forward to the 1-1 lesions with his own bike to see if we can get him riding on his own!
My 9- year old has been lacking confidence in riding his bike without stabilisers. A single 1-1 session has made a huge difference and we were really impressed with the techniques used to get him to cycle a short distance. We will be booking another session soon. Highly recommended.
I would thoroughly recommend this company. They did a fantastic job teaching my son to ride his bike this summer. He was very nervous and unbalanced on his bike and now spends every weekend out cycling. This was the success of the summer for our family!
Great cycling lessons run by Davie, very patient, encouraging and makes it all good fun. My son has improved significantly and really enjoyed it.
My son Oscar who is 7 years old has been struggling to ride his bike.
I arranged with Davie to coach Oscar for 1.5 hours. Amazing coaching and within half an hour Oscar was cycling. I am so impressed with club sports and Davie is fantastic! Can’t thank you enough A very proud mum Amanda.
Last week both my 3 and 6 year old joined the level 1 balanceability course in half term. It was brilliant! Great positive coaching from Davie who also has the patience of a saint! By day 3 the 6 year old was off on her bike without stabilisers! A real moment which was just lovely to see. Her progressions continued through the rest of the week and I now have a cyclist! The 3 year old is still working on her balance but we will be back in the summer holidays to get her onto the next stage. Thank you so much, we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
We had a fabulous half term with Davie teaching my two girls, 3 and 6, and their friends (same age) in 45 minutes sessions each morning of the level 1 balance-ability course. By wednesday both 6 year olds were cycling with confidence which was amazing. 3 year olds were also gliding really well by the end. Davie knows exactly what he’s doing and was very patient with my very stroppy 3 year old. Would highly recommend this course, it was worth every penny.
Davie was absolutely brilliant with our son Blake. He was extremely patient and quickly figured out what did and didn’t work for Blake which really helped him to progress. A week of 1-1 tuition had him gliding like a pro by friday! Cannot recommend Davie highly enough, thank you so much.
So impressed, my son had a 1-1 with Charlotte today and i’m so impressed with how much he can now do!
Brilliant. My 7 year old was riding his bike confidently within half an hour and by the end of the double lesson was starting, stopping, steering etc. The instructor clearly knew his stuff and had a great balance of being encouraging and patient. Highly recommended.
Absolutely brilliant. Davie had my 6 year old riding within 12 minutes. He was so patient with him and gave him really clear, fun instructions. Excellent price, £30 for a 1-1 session which I would definitely recommend doing.
Huge thanks to the amazing Davie Johns who got our 6 year old cycling after 2 years of pain/ frustration/ embarrassment etc. Literally took him an hour and a half over 2 lessons and he just got it! Davie has the patience of a saint and my son really responded to him. We went out today and he cycled a 2 mile loop around our village- literally unbelievable only a week ago.
My younger son is now really looking forward to Davie coming to teach him.
Can’t recommend highly enough
After struggling with transitioning to no stabilisers, Davie had my daughter riding independently in her first lesson! patient , calm and encouraging throughout- Davie has given lydia the confidence to ride on her own. She now looks forward to taking her bike down to the park…Thanks so much.
