did this course a few weeks back, used a snippet of the syllabus this morning with some 4 and 5 yr olds to get them off stabilisers, made it a lot easier to structure the session and move riders on at their own pace. Parents and teachers present really 'got' it and all were surprised and pleased at rate of progress.
am surprised it's not directly linked into bikeability, unless it is but not widely advertised?
main winners for me were bench shuffle, beanbag balance, & beanbag over bench drills, this seemed plenty of prep to then get kids balancing before pedalling.
anyway, sharing this experience with instructors on here, maybe it'll start a new topic of chat and inspire some more ideas.
