Teaching your child to ride a bike
Teaching a child to learn to ride a bike can make you feel like a superhero – and will open up all sorts of adventures for your family. With HSBC UK Ready Set Ride the process is as simple as playing together, with fun games designed to break learning to ride into easy to follow steps.
Your child will learn at their own speed, so don’t worry if they don’t pick it up straight away! We split the process up into three simple stages: prepare to ride, balance, and pedals – and you don’t even need a bike to get started on the first stage.
