🚲 Learn to ride without stabilisers — in less than 30 minutes!

Teaching your child (or grandchild!) to ditch the stabilisers is one of those moments you'll never forget.

Here's our simple 5-step method:

1️⃣ Gear Up — helmet on, properly fitted, before anything else.
2️⃣ Balance First — remove the pedals and let them find their feet (literally).
3️⃣ Walk the Bike — sit, push, glide. Build that confidence gradually.
4️⃣ Find a Gentle Slope — a slight downhill does the hard work for you.
5️⃣ Add the Pedals — once they're gliding with control, it's time to ride!

Every child learns at their own pace — keep it fun, celebrate every milestone, and let them lead the way. 🙌

Want expert support? We offer 1:1 cycle tuition alongside our Bikeability school sessions across Southampton, Portsmouth and surrounding areas.

✅ We deliver cycle training in Southampton, Portsmouth and surrounding areas in partnership with Bikeability

☀️ Half-term sunshine = perfect cycling weather! 🚲

With temperatures set to reach 26°C this Summer Half Term on the south coast, it's a brilliant week to get out on two wheels as a family.

Three essentials before you ride:

💧 Pack water — fill a bottle for every rider and take regular sips, even on shorter trips.
🧴 Slap on the sun cream — and pop on a cap or sunglasses to keep little ones comfortable in the bright sun.
🌳 Time it right — set off in the cooler morning or later afternoon, and plan a route with plenty of shady spots to pause and enjoy.

A bit of planning means everyone stays comfortable, confident and ready to make the most of those summer miles. 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

Hilsea Lido is back! 🏊‍♀️

After four years and a £7.75 million refurbishment, Portsmouth's iconic Hilsea Lido reopens Saturday 2nd May; a smidge over 90 years after it first opened.

The newly restored outdoor pool is set to become a real community hub, with a brand new sauna, food and drink on site, family activities, and events throughout the year. It's run by the team behind Sea Lanes Brighton in partnership with South Downs Leisure.

The Hilsea Lido to Fareham loop on Let's Ride is one of our favourite local rides:

📍 Start: Hilsea Lido, London Road, PO2 9RP
📏 Distance: 14.5 miles
📈 Climb: Just 71m — mostly flat
⭐ Rated 4.5/5
🏰 Highlights: Port Solent, Portchester Castle, Cams Hall, harbour views, Portsdown Hill

The route heads east for a lap of Port Solent, then hugs the shoreline past Portchester Castle towards Fareham before looping back via quieter streets and National Cycle Network 236.

It's a gorgeous ride for confident young cyclists and families looking for a longer adventure. Pack a picnic, plan a swim at the Lido, and make a day of it. What a way to spend a spring weekend! ☀️

Routes like this are exactly why we love what we do — our Bikeability training gives children the skills and confidence to enjoy rides like these for years to come.
