FAQ
Who is this for?
This one-day program is open to Newham residents only, Year 9 to Year 11 (typically 13–16 years old). Participants must already be confident cyclists — this session is not suitable for beginners.
Is this open to all genders?
Yes! Pedal Push welcomes everyone. The programme is open to all young people who meet the age and residency requirements.
My child has mild additional needs. Can they take part?
Yes — as long as your child is a confident cyclist and can ride safely in a small group, they are welcome to attend. Please let us know any additional needs on the sign-up form.
Do they need their own bike or helmet?
Nope — we’ll provide everything your child needs to take part safely, including a bike and helmet.
What should they wear and bring?
Participants should wear comfortable clothing suitable for riding a bike, and bring:
- A packed lunch
- Water and snacks
- A light rain jacket (just in case!)
What happens if it rains?
We’ll keep an eye on the forecast and aim to find dry gaps in the day to get riding. Light rain won’t stop us — please come prepared!
Where is it and what time should we arrive?
The session runs from 9:30am to 4:00pm at Ellen Wilkinson Primary School, E6 5UP. Please aim to arrive promptly at 9:30am for sign-in and bike fitting. Drop-off and pick-up is at the school gate.
Will there be toilets available?
Yes — participants will have access to toilet facilities throughout the day.
Where will the riding take place?
We’ll start in the playground and quiet streets around the school before heading out on a 10km ride that explores Newham’s parks, local roads, and key landmarks.
How many adults will be supervising?
There will be two qualified ride leaders/coaches with the group all day, ensuring safety, support, and good vibes throughout.
What if my child gets tired or has a problem during the ride?
No problem — our coaches will manage the group pace and provide support if a participant gets tired or has a bike issue. We'll never leave anyone behind, and there are regular stopping points built into the route.
