FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE FOR A CHILD TO JOIN YOUR CLASS?
The minimum age is 5. We believe that this is the minimum age at which the child readily takes in instructions and allows the lesson to go on safely. Nevertheless, if your child is younger, do contact us to enquire. We may be able to make exceptions based on certain conditions.

HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TRAINERS?
Happy Cycle utilises our in-house pedagogy called Challenge Based Development (CBD for short).
CBD makes use of a series of challenges that are designed to allow your child (or yourself) to learn in a safe, non-pressuring manner and yet innately brings about a sense of achievement throughout the learning process.
As such, learning becomes enjoyable, fun and most importantly, develops other aspects of the child’s (or your) character as part of a holistic learning.
Due to the founder’s background in education and strong emphasis on character development, Happy Cycle focuses on learning, more than teaching. The focus is on the development of the child or the individual, instead of rushing towards the end goal.

I CAN ALREADY CYCLE BUT I AM NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO CYCLE ON PCN. ARE YOU ABLE TO HELP?
Yes again! Simply being able to pedal on 2 wheels is not sufficient for you to ride on our PCN (and definitely not our roads) especially when it is crowded with other users.
You will need other skills such as being able to maneuver around obstacles, being aware of your surroundings, being able to maintain your balance at slow speeds, or even cycling through narrow paths.
Here at Happy Cycle, we do our best to prepare you to face any crowded cycling or shared paths so that you maintain safety and keep on riding!
