About
First Pedal was established in the city of Potchefstroom of the North West province in South Africa. We are planning to branch off in to many of the surrounding areas. Let us teach your children in a group environment to learn how to ride on a balance bike. Help your kids gain confidence, control and feel more comfortable when they put their feet on the ground, which is why balance bikes help them gain more confidence on a bike. They can intuitively learn to balance, turn and steer all while feeling less likely to fall.
Benefits of Balance Bikes
Help Develop Muscles
They build strength, coordination and are a safer way to start riding.
Strengthen Bones
They make exercise fun and are convenient for parents.
Improve Cardiovascular Development
They are easy to use and help you skip the training wheels.
Skills
Learning to ride a bike requires gross motor skills, visual motor skills and sensory motor skills in addition to strength and balance.
When a child learns how to ride a bike, they gain a whole new set of skills, one of those being confidence, confidence in themselves, but also confidence in social skills. Kids get more interested in interacting with other kids and excited to “go ride bikes” with each other.
