Just wanted to say a massive thank you for my son's learn to ride session yesterday. He came back from his lesson full of confidence and we have spent all weekend cycling in the park. He absolutely loves it! . I was blown away by how quickly my daughter got riding! She's always struggled with her balancing, so the balance bikes really helped. The look of pride on her face at the end was lovely. Huge thanks to your fantastic instructor team! Information Source: Cycle North | eventbrite
