Cycling is more than just an independent way to travel, more than a useful skill to have and more than simply a fun past time. Here are some of the other benefits:
- Supports an individual’s physical development; their balance, core stability, gross motor skills and their ability to manipulate an object with their hands and feet.
- Help to develop spatial awareness and proprioception (knowing where their body is in a space).
- Can help with decision making, resilience and perseverance.
- Provides opportunities to develop an awareness of rules, of others.
- Develop a sense of citizenship and a sense of independence.
Today we introduced new trikes and scooters to our outdoor play resources. Everyone loved the fun.
