Learn to Ride for Seniors in Sydney: Safe, Supported Cycling with Pedal Set Go

Getting older does not mean giving up bikes. In fact, for many Sydney seniors, riding a bicycle or e‑bike is one of the most practical ways to stay active, connected, and independent.

At Pedal Set Go, a lot of our “new” riders are in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. Some never learned to ride. Some are returning after decades away. Others are trying an e‑bike so they can keep moving despite health conditions or mobility changes.

This post is for older adults (and the people who care about them) who are curious about cycling but worried about falls, osteoporosis, or e‑bike safety in NSW. We will walk through why seniors might want to ride more, what the real risks are, and how our learn‑to‑ride and e‑bike safety sessions reduce those risks while keeping the joy.

Supporting a reluctant child in learning to ride can feel challenging, but at Pedal Set Go, our Sydney bike lessons for kids are tailored to help each child build confidence at their own pace. From selecting the right bike size to creating a comfortable environment, we focus on emotional and physical comfort to make riding enjoyable. Our expert instructors work with families to establish a “little and often” practice routine—just 10–15 minutes a day—to reinforce new skills. With a focus on small, steady progress, we aim to make learning to ride a bike in Sydney a positive and achievable experience for every child.

Here are some great tips for teaching your child to ride. Kids will learn to ride quickly through play if the bike is set up properly. It’s better if the “balance bike” is a little to small rather than too big, and we show you how to set the bike up just right.
