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, and provide solutions to my specific requests. Her encouragements played a huge role in building the confidence I needed to ride independently. By Lesson 1, I was already pedaling on my own. By Lesson 4, I completed my first full ride, where I navigated sharper turns, crowded paths, slopes, and different terrains.

There’s no hard selling; you plan your sessions at your own pace. I also have friends under her guidance who had failed repeatedly but now managed long-distance rides independently by their second lesson.

For adults who genuinely want to learn, especially if you don’t have that instinctive body coordinations (and even if friends have tried teaching you repeatedly but you still keep falling), I highly recommend her!

P. S. They teach cycling etiquette too, and defensive cycling👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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 enrolled my 7yo son for cycling lessons with Elise. We had difficulties teaching him to cycle on a two wheel bike due to his fear of falling and also our difficulty letting go as parents. Elise came highly recommended from a friend of mine, and within the first 15 mins of the lesson, my son started pedalling independently. Elise and her team brought bikes for the lesson but also adjusted my son’s bike to suit his height. She also taught him some important skills like turning, cycling with one hand to signal turns etc within two lessons. My son was cycling on the PCN independently for long distances (16km) with us after just two lessons. It was definitely money well spent and we will highly recommend Elise and Saddlewerkz for cycling lessons.

My colleague recommended Coach Joseph to teach my two girls, Caryn and Caitlin, how to cycle — and it turned out to be an excellent decision. Coach Joseph is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, and he teaches in a very systematic, step-by-step manner that makes learning both easy and enjoyable.

Within the half hour, both girls were able to cycle independently, something we didn’t expect to happen so quickly! His guidance was clear, encouraging, and perfectly paced.

Most importantly, Caryn and Caitlin truly enjoyed the lesson. Coach Joseph made the session engaging, fun, and confidence‑building from start to finish.

I highly recommend Coach Joseph to anyone looking for an effective and dedicated cycling coach. Exceptional experience!

Was referred to Joseph by a friend and am so happy we went with him! My son can be quite nervous when picking up a new skill but Joseph put him at ease by cracking jokes. I thought my son would take a few lessons before getting it but he managed to cycle on his own in just one lesson!

I also appreciate the clear instructions on where to park and where to meet – small thing but saves us a lot of headache trying to navigate within the place.

Coach Elise is absolutely amazing! She brings so much energy and enthusiasm to every session, making it super enjoyable for the kids.

She transformed my kids from reluctant learners to confident riders, and they can’t get enough of her classes!

Coach Joseph is someone who gains trust from a child very quickly, clearly from the many years of coaching experience. He’s encouraging, humorous and clear in instructions, making the child feel at ease very quickly. His emphasis on cycling safety rules resonates strongly with me. My daughter learnt how to pedal 40 minutes into the class. Highly recommend!

Coach Joseph is great! He was funny and nice. Most importantly, he taught me how to balance on my bicycle. He also has many tricks to teach me how to tackle challenges along the way! I am so happy because I know how to ride a bicycle without training wheels on the first lesson!

Absolutely fantastic experience tailored to my daughter’s experience and comfort levels. Both confidently riding by the end of the first lesson and the second lesson really good to fine tune other skills like breaking, etc.

Excellent bicycle riding classes for beginners. We had Elise as our instructor who was fantastic with my 9 and 12 year olds, she was patient and encouraging and thanks to her teaching, my kids learnt to ride very quickly and confidently. A wonderful experience! Cannot recommend enough!!!

Coach Joseph is a really super good experienced and wonderful teacher to both kids and adults! Highly recommend him especially if it’s for someone who struggles to overcome fear or feel clumsy on the bike.

At first it was really just my kid. We were blown way, by how, just in his first lesson alone he went from not no cycling without training wheels to successfully balancing and pedaling a 2 wheel bike.

I casually mentioned to coach that I can’t really cycle well and am really a hazard when I’m on a bike. He offered to coach me with my son at the same time. I’m so glad I did it. I didn’t expect myself to improve so much in my first lesson. I can now mount confidently, stop safely, turn etc. To my surprise I learned how to stand on the bike!

The biggest gift was that my child learned so much as well even though coach was teaching both of us. He could cycle straight and do turns!

After lots of research we found Saddlewerkz and Coach Elise has been a real gem in getting our 5 year old to cycle independently. Her lessons are informative and confidence building for both the kid and the parents. It has been a real joy seeing how our kid has progressed under her patient guidance! Highly highly recommended!

Coach Joseph is really patient. I love that his teachings are very structured and it helps to allay fears/debunks myths that we have about cycling and falling down. 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, I’ll highly recommend you to go for a lesson with Coach Joseph!

Update: We attended 3 more lessons in 2025 (2 years after our first lesson with Joseph) to improve on our cycling techniques, and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made. Each lesson felt purposeful, progressive, and helped to build our confidence. What really stood out is how he adapts his teaching to our pace and goals, there was no rushing or pressure, just steady improvement. We left each session feeling more confident and genuinely excited to keep cycling. After our last lesson with Joseph, we’re now confident to cycle everywhere we go!

We were referred by a friend, who spoke highly of Coach Joseph’s teaching techniques. Coach Joseph is a great teacher! I managed to learn to cycle in ~40mins, he was patient in explaining cycling fundamentals and helped me understand how it works.

Update: After 2 years, we decided to return for more lessons to develop our proficiency in cycling. After a few more sessions, we gained confidence to cycle in public, across roads etc. Many thanks to Coach Joseph for his guidance and patience in teaching us!

Coach Elise is an amazing cycling coach—patient, encouraging, and truly wonderful with kids. She has such a natural way with children, turning every lesson into a fun and positive experience, so much so that my daughter always looked forward to her next session. We really appreciate that she focuses not only on cycling techniques but also strongly emphasizes safety. Coach Joseph is equally wonderful; both of them are so generous in sharing their knowledge and offering helpful advice on choosing the right kids’ bike. It’s been truly amazing to see my girl confidently cycling around after just a few lessons.

I love it! Coming from previous botched cycling lessons, I was filled with trepidation when it comes to 2-wheel cycling. A friend who has had their successful lesson recommended Coach Elise (also their coach)

It is amazing-we didn’t rush anything. Everything is really structured, with progression at each stage so we can get the feel and hang of balancing before pedaling, which allows student to gain confidence. Her teaching is customized to each student, not a one size fits all approach, which I really appreciate. By end of lesson one, I have managed to push off, pedal and make wide turns without anyone holding me. Credits to Coach Elise of course.

I think this is a fantastic Christmas present – picking up a new skill vs material items! Very meaningful to me ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much Coach Elise!

My sister recommended Coach Elise to me when my niece managed to pick up cycling after 1+ lessons! I was doubtful at first but I couldn’t teach cycling (elder kid somehow learnt from a balance bike long ago) but we took up a private lesson and it was amazing, my child can cycle after one lesson! (On 2 wheels!) Coach Elise was very patient, very kind with my child, and somehow managed to get her to balance then pedal by herself within an hour’s class. We did a second lesson as well for practice as well as learning turns, mounting and dismounting, braking, etc and my child proudly came back to me saying “mummy i cycled around the stadium all by myself!” (They did a round on the 100plus promenade , almost 1km!) Thanks Coach Elise, for boosting my child’s confidence plus teaching her a valuable life skill of using a bicycle! Will definitely spread word of mouth to my friends if anyone is looking to learn how to cycle!

P.S. Bicycle is provided at lesson at a height suitablr for the child, helmet and safety gear as well, but used as needed. Also all the payment details, communications were timely and Coach Elise was very responsive with chats when I had questions and was trying to work out my schedule to arrange lessons with her.

My 6 year old boy had two sessions with Joseph. I was initially concerned if my boy will be able to pick up cycling as he is fairly playful and doesnt always follow instructions well. But thankfully Joseph was able to break down the steps into bite-size and helped my boy to gain confidence. By the first lesson, my boy was able to cycle although he still needs to work on his control. It really helps to have an experienced coach like Joseph who can connect with kids and tweak his training session that suits the child’s ability. Really pleased to see my boy enjoyed his cycling sessions!

Coach Joseph was amazing! In just one hour, he managed to teach both my kids how to cycle confidently without falling; something I thought would take weeks. He was patient, calm, and knew exactly how to build their confidence step by step.

My kids left the class beaming with joy, proud of themselves and excited to keep practising. I’m so grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to any parent looking for a skilled and caring coach.

We had a fantastic experience learning cycling with Coach Elise! She was incredibly patient and really understood how to work with kids at their own pace. What stood out most was how she made each session fun—incorporating games and engaging activities so my child stayed motivated and looked forward to every lesson.

It wasn’t just about learning to cycle; it was about building confidence in a supportive and encouraging environment. Thank you, Coach Elise, for making this such a positive and enjoyable journey. Highly recommended for any parent looking to teach their kids cycling!

Enjoyed our lessons with the team at Saddlewerks! Very professional and the team is very patient and kind. We are glad to have coach Elise to coach our kids for cycling. She taught the kids proper techniques/tips for riding and gave them the confidence to cycle without falling. My older boy managed to cycle himself after the first lesson. All equipments provided by them as well. Highly recommend to try out Saddlewerks!
