The MiniBikers Story

Mini Bikers is an multi award-winning UK-based programme dedicated to teaching children aged 18 months to 10 years how to ride a bike confidently and safely. Established in 2015, Mini Bikers was created in response to the observation that many children were unable to participate in school based cycling programmes due to a lack of basic riding skills. This initiative aims to introduce cycling to children as early as possible, fostering confidence, coordination, and a lifelong love for biking.

Our Team

I therefore had to recruit a number of Instructors to assist in delivery and Minibikers moved from a one man company to a full team of Instructors. Our Team of Balanceability/Bikeability Instructors have full background experience of supporting children of varying ages direct in schools. We are trained to support children with various needs and ensure our training in inclusive and we are trained in the area of SEND and Early Years Development.

Where We Deliver

We deliver courses to local authorities, schools, nurseries, leisure centres, community centres and community groups.

As we expanded the demand for cycles grew and Minibikers Cycles was born. We sell all children’s bikes including Frog Bikes, Ridgeback, Cuda, Forme and all accessories inclusive of helmets, lights, bells, jerseys etc.

Our vision was still there – to get as many children cycling as early as possible and with some fantastic success stories of learning to cycle I focused on ways to introduce this even earlier and therefore sourced bikes to assist with this that were lightweight and encouraged the development of early fine and gross motor skills.

Here Mini Bikers Toddler Balanceability sessions were introduced for children from 18 months. We have a Team of Instructors specifically trained to support children in early years and development. We are extremely proud of this development and success and are the first organisation in the Uk to have set up and targeted an early introduction to cycling – some even earlier than 18 months!

“Amazing courses if I could give more stars I would. We had a little boy who was physically terrified of a bike and now we have a happy rider! Never thought we’d see the day! Can’t thank or recommend Yas enough for his teaching and guidance! ”

“2- My son had his 3rd lesson tonight and he loves it. He had his own balance bike for a year and went on maybe 5x, he had very little confidence on it and would do a couple of steps and get off....since these lessons he wants to go on his own all the time and he has improved so much!! Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks Mini Bikers ”
