What is CycleTots?

Come & give it a try. Taster Deal available

CycleTots is our super fun group balance bike classes that help little ones…

  • develop the core skills of balancing, striding and gliding with our Mr Fox and Friends characters
  • grow in confidence on their balance bikes through games and challenges

Perfect for children aged 2.5 to 5 years old of all ability levels. No bike or helmet? No problem. Your instructor can sort you out with both. Demo a helmet for free and a bike for £2.50 per lesson.

Ask your instructor about hiring our balance bikes to take home with you, from £7.49 per month on our Pedal Plan bike subscription. Classes are term time only – join at any point during the term! As well as community classes, we also run in nurseries and schools.

Our Fabulous Welcome Pack: £14.50

What Parents Say

"My 2-year-old absolutely loves CycleTots! He's gone from barely being able to sit on a balance bike to zooming around confidently in just a few weeks. The instructors are fantastic with the little ones."

Say NO to stabilisers

Fox Cycling has taught thousands of children to cycle and it is clear stabilisers are the worst thing to use to teach children to cycle for the following reasons:

  • They teach a child NOT to balance.
  • They promote lazy core strength
  • They encourage 'backwards' pedalling
  • They teach the child to lean the wrong way when turning.

Balance bikes are the solution and can be used as soon as a child has learnt to walk. We can help recommend a great, lightweight balance bike for your little one. Just give us a call!

Say NO to stabilisers - balance bikes are better
