Learning to ride a bike is an important stage in a child’s life and Gravesend’s Cyclopark is giving youngsters the chance to do so safely this Easter holidays.

Cyclopark has launched Learn to Cycle classes to get kids aged five and up peddling on traffic-free, smooth tarmac with great teaching.

Cyclopark’s chief executive Laurence Tricker said: “Our ‘Learn to Cycle’ classes are fun and memorable for a good reason, as children generally avoid falling off and grazed knees.”

The hour-long classes cost £5 and run from noon to 1pm from Tuesday (April 14) to Thursday (April 16). For more information, and the Cyclopark’s Easter programme, go to cyclopark.com
