The Live Life Aberdeenshire team shared some positive feedback on the Balance on Pedals resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is lovely to hear so many children are accessing the benefits of learning to balance and pedal in ELC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Life Outdoors presents our “Balance to Pedal” bike loans programme as part of our overall “Bringing the Bike to You” suite of cycling options. This new pre-school programme was initially tested between January and March 2026 and we are delighted to now take it across Aberdeenshire, with our Term 3 evaluation attached for your information.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bike loan consists of 5 x Balance Bikes, 2-3 Early Pedal Cycles and helmets. Via Early Years we host a Balance to Pedal Workshop to compliment the use of the resources in a pre school setting and the date & venue for the pre-summer workshop will be confirmed shortly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u00a350 (or \u00a3100 10 weeks) charge is for mobilisation only, reflecting the size of Aberdeenshire, and there is no charge applied to the children to access the resources as an activity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please submit your requests for 2026-27 (school year up to June 2027) and our team will be in touch to discuss. Loan packages are limited and places have booked up quickly during Term 3.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
