Ozzy the Ostrich
Ozzy is outstanding at striding. He encourages children to make wide strides on their balance bike.

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!
