Canberra is world-renowned for its incredible network of cycle paths. It is truly a rider’s paradise, making it the perfect place for a family adventure on two wheels.
However, before your little ones can zoom through the lakeside trails, they need to feel steady in the saddle. That is where the experts at Pedal Power ACT step in to save the day.
This January 2026, Pedal Power is hosting their popular “Big Skills for Small Bikes” program. These sessions are designed specifically for young beginners who are ready to ditch the training wheels or master their balance bikes. The program takes the stress out of teaching a child to ride. Instead of frustrated parents and wobbly starts, kids get to learn in a supportive, group environment.
The focus of these courses is purely on fun and confidence. Through a series of engaging games and guided practice, children learn the essentials of balancing, steering, and braking safely. The instructors are highly experienced and know exactly how to turn a nervous rider into a tiny cyclist. It is a fantastic way for children to build coordination while enjoying the fresh Canberra air.
Whether you are a local family looking for a productive school holiday activity or a visitor wanting to involve the kids in Canberra’s active lifestyle, these courses are a must-do. Not only do the children pick up a life-long skill, but they also gain a sense of independence and achievement.
The sessions are filling up fast for the summer holidays. If you have a bike sitting in the garage and a child eager to explore, now is the time to get involved.
