about us

Who are we?

Saddlewerkz is a company formed by a small group of big hearted coaches, passionate about encouraging every learner to overcome their fears of learning to ride a bicycle (yes! You do NOT need to fall!), and to guide our learners to appreciate SAFE cycling on the public paths.


Our coaches are certified by SportSG and are actively engaged by MOE schools, international schools, Special Education schools and privately.

Our Methods

We have developed a coaching system mainly focused on CPL – Character Progressive Learning.


Our learners are all regarded as individuals with varying abilities and needs, and our methodology focuses on effective results every session with the least number of injuries possible. We strive to ensure our learners enjoy the process and appreciate their individual progress. Even in group settings, everyone is taught to encourage each other regardless!

“The instructors, Elisa & Joseph are very patient & encouraging. Clear step by step instructions were provided to each individual with specific guidance for areas for growth. Customised strategies were also provided based on individual responses.
Thank you for this wonderful first experience!!!.”
