Posted on
School holidays are the perfect time to swap screens for pedals! Cycling isn’t just a fun activity—it’s a fantastic way to boost your child's confidence, independence, and health. But how do you help your little rider progress from wobbling to confident steering? At Pedal, we believe that setting clear, achievable goals makes all the difference. With some simple targets and a bit of encouragement, here’s a fun and easy guide to help your children become confident cyclists, based on F-U-N goals:

Ensure kids wear helmets, pads, and learn safe riding habits. Safety starts with awareness. Teach your kids to look around—checking behind, ahead, and to the sides. |
Help kids learn balance, steering, and pedaling through step-by-step guidance and encouragement. |
Teach kids how to find their way, recognize landmarks, and understand simple routes. Practice turning, weaving, and navigating around obstacles. |
|
Play “Follow the Leader” where you point out pedestrians, traffic, or parked cars. Help them plan safe routes away from busy roads. |
Celebrate Small Wins. Try setting mini-goals like riding a certain distance or holding a balance for five seconds. Celebrate every achievement with cheers or stickers! |
Set up cones in the driveway or park to practice tight turns and weaving. As they improve, they’ll feel more confident tackling different terrains. |
Let’s make this holiday a memorable journey on two wheels! 🚲🌟
By setting F-U-N goals during the holidays, your kids can develop a well-rounded cycling skill set—safe, enjoyable, and fulfilling. Remember, the key is to keep activities positive and playful. Celebrate every step forward, no matter how small, and encourage curiosity and exploration.
