Balanceability
Balanceability is the UK's first and only accredited 'learn to cycle' scheme for children aged 2 and 1/2 to 6 years and specifically aimed to help develop confidence, spatial awareness and dynamic balance.
Balanceability benefits children by:
- Physical improvement through the development of gross motor skills such as balance, co-ordination, agility, core strength and flexibility.
- Gets children cycling much easier without the use of stabilisers which can be hindering and confusing to a child.
- Improving children's confidence, self-esteem and resilience.
