Kiddy-Bike Hour: balance bike fun for kids in Almere
Sunday morning, track for kids' size
Everything you need to know before you come
Every Sunday morning, our track spends an hour at kid size. No fast riders blasting over drops and rock gardens, just corners, flow and a bunch of kids their own age clocking up their first mountain bike miles together. Below you'll find everything you need to know before you come.
🗓️ Every Sunday, 9:30 – 10:30 am
👶 Kids aged 2 to 8
🚲 Own balance bike or pedal bike, rentals available
⛑️ Helmet required (also for rent)
🚶 Parents walk along for free
💰 €9.95 per child (excl. rentals)
📲 Booking required, spots go fast
Kids ride, you walk
Every Sunday from 9:30 to 10:30, the track turns into a course for mini-bikers. The kids ride, you walk alongside. Sounds like a gentle stroll? Think again. Once your kid gets the hang of it, you'll be sprinting sooner than you thought.
The pace is up to them. One goes full gas from the start, another cruises their laps and hops off now and then for a break (with or without an ice-cold drink). Both totally fine. Meanwhile they're learning to steer, brake and balance without even noticing they're learning. The perfect pressure-free way to lay the foundations!
Pouring down outside? No problem. The whole park is covered, so the Kiddy-Bike Hour always goes ahead.
After the ride: refuel at our café with hot chocolate & homemade apple pie
After an hour of racing, there's only one thing more important than another lap: something tasty. Our café has hot chocolate, apple juice, sandwiches and cakes ready and waiting. And for you, of course, a good coffee while the kids relive the ride (or just carry on playing together).
Bike & gear: what does your little ripper need?
A bike, a helmet and a healthy dose of energy
Good news: not much. That energy is usually in plentiful supply on a Sunday morning, the rest you bring yourself or rent from us.
Riding your own gear
There's probably a balance bike at home with a few scratches and plenty of stories. Bring it along! A familiar bike builds confidence, and with confidence that first corner comes a little faster. All we ask is that it's in good condition: handlebars that are tight, tyres that aren't flat and, on a pedal bike, brakes that actually brake.
Or rent a bike from us
No bike at home, no room in the car, or does your kid just fancy trying something different? We've got them ready and waiting.
Balance bikes for the littlest ones just discovering what balancing is all about, and pedal bikes for kids who've already got the hang of it. Rentals aren't included in the entry price, you'll find the rental prices on our rates page
Helmet on, always
No helmet, no laps. Simple as that. Got your own? Bring it. If not, you can rent one from us.
What to wear?
For the kids: clothes they can move freely in and closed-toe shoes. Gloves come in handy: for that first slide across the ground, and on a chilly winter morning.
For you: good sneakers. You know why by now.
Score your own gear?
Has the balance bike bug bitten? It happens faster than you think. Even for the littlest adventurers, our shop has balance bikes, kids' bikes and matching helmets for sale. And to complete the look, you'll find a sporty outfit to go with it, so your tough little mountain biker looks just as good on the track as they ride.
