Who we are
We are a group that celebrates cycling. Learning to ride a bike is a journey and an achievement that involves many things - balance, commitment, confidence, attention, safety, and most importantly, the fun and adventure this skill brings.
What we love
What we love most about starting this journey is the pure excitement and joy on a child's face when they conquer a challenge they once thought was impossible.
