Class:

Children, adults, learners over 60, and whole schools.

Every learner is different. Two people may be learning the exact same skill, yet require completely different types of help to achieve it. That is where good coaching matters.

Children

Bikes sized to your child, helmet and gear provided. Games, cones and a coach riding right beside them. Most children pedal on their own inside the first lesson.

7 yrs: "within the first 15 mins, my son started pedalling independently"

Adults

Never learned? Start here. No one has to watch. We find what your body is actually doing, fix that one thing, and build from there, at your pace, with no hard selling.

adult: "by Lesson 1, I was already pedaling on my own"

60 and over

Learners who were never given the chance, now learning to ride with grandchildren or to tick it off a list. One coach, one learner: single-learner lessons only, so the coach’s eyes are on you alone.

"age is only a number, as long as we have a willing heart"

Schools

Cycling programmes for PE in MOE, international and Special Education schools, run by NROC members and MOE Registered Instructors. Cohorts, safety and equipment planned with you.

Method:

Progression, not perfection.

Our coaches do not simply demonstrate a skill, tell a learner to try again, and celebrate every attempt with a “Good job!” A learner may be struggling with the same skill as someone else, but the reason they are struggling could be completely different.

The skill may be the same. The solution may not be.

1 · Observe

Understand what the learner is actually doing.

2 · Identify

Determine the specific barrier preventing progress.

3 · Adapt

Tailor the coaching intervention to that individual. What exactly do they need? More repetition? More time? A specific cue?

4 · Progress

Build on what has improved and determine the next step.

Because at Saddlewerkz, we don’t just ask: “Did they do it?”

We ask: "Why can’t they do it yet, and what do they need from us to get there?"

Remarks:

In their own words.

I’m an adult who has had unsuccessful attempts to learn how to ride a bicycle. I’ve often been met with incredulous questions like, “You actually paid to learn cycling?” This is why.

Coach Elise’s lessons, explained in a way I can truly understand, are highly tailored to each individual. She identified my weaknesses, corrected my bad habits … By Lesson 1, I was already pedaling on my own.

Coach Joseph got the energy, enthusiasm to engage the learner kids. But best and most important he has the methodology which got them able to balance on bicycles very quick. What my son could do in just a 1 hour lesson, I took nearly a week to learn when I was his age!

We learnt how to ride a bike in around 30 mins! If you want to learn how to cycle, it doesn’t matter how old you are, a kid or an adult …

Update: We attended 3 more lessons in 2025 (2 years after our first lesson with Joseph) … After our last lesson with Joseph, we’re now confident to cycle everywhere we go!

Enquire:

Tell us who is learning. We’ll take it from there.

No booking system, no forms that go nowhere. A message reaches a coach, and you’ll usually hear back within the day.
