Article by Claire and Zara from CYCLEMe TOTS, Dartford

As a young child you regularly master new skills and with that comes a great sense of achievement, especially a milestone as great as learning to ride a bike.

We want to make this as easy and enjoyable as possible with our unique cycling programme that teaches children as young as two to ride. Young children learn best through play and our activity classes are created alongside Early Years Professionals to teach children to ride through a variety of engaging and fun activities designed to capture the imagination of even the youngest riders!

We experienced the fantastic CYCLEme TOTS programme with our own sons, and watched them gain confidence and progress to riding a pedal bike confidently and quickly.

We saw first-hand just how much fun the children had each week and how they grew a love of cycling which will stay with them throughout their lives. So, when the opportunity arose to purchase a franchise of our own, we jumped at the chance – and from here CYCLEme TOTS Dartford was born!

Between us we have several years of experience with running activity classes for young children, and feel passionately about the importance of teaching key life skills from a young age. We want to encourage children to get moving, feel healthier, enjoy the outdoors and most importantly have fun…on two wheels!

If you are looking to get your little ones riding into 2020 then contact us now to book a FREE taster session!

We are currently running classes at Stone Pavilion on a Monday mornings, New Ash Green Village Hall on a Wednesday mornings, and White Oak Leisure Centre on a Sunday mornings.

Give us a call on 07503 344285 or visit our website for more information at www.cyclemetots.com.
