It is possible to get balanced in one lesson

We often have the inquiry “How many lessons does it take to learn to ride a bicycle?”

In fact, it varies from person to person, and the feeling of balance has nothing to do with age and gender. Adults have the opportunity to learn quickly, while children might have the chance needing extra time to learn it.

The fastest students can balance themselves in the first lesson.

On the whole, most students can balance and stop the bikes by themselves in four lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. Should I join the "Beginner Class" or the "Skills Class"?

New students are welcome to join both! You can choose based on your current riding ability:

  • Join the “Beginner Class”: Suitable for total beginners—those who still use training wheels or cannot yet start and balance on two wheels independently.
  • Join the “Skills Class”: Suitable for those who already know how to balance (can start and pedal for a distance) but want to master bike handling, cornering, effective braking, and road awareness.
  • Coach’s Advice: If you are unsure of your level, we recommend starting with the “Beginner Class.” Our coaches will provide a professional assessment on-site; if you show excellent progress, they will immediately adjust the lesson or suggest a more advanced level.

Q2. Is there a guarantee that I will learn how to ride?

  • Individual Differences:
    Beginner progress varies from learner to learner.
    Some learners are able to find balance in their very first lesson,
    while others may need to attend several sessions before balancing independently.
  • Learning Progress:
    On average, more than 50% of learners are able to balance
    and ride a two‑wheel bicycle independently within
    three lessons (each lesson lasts 1.5 hours).
  • High Success Rate:
    Most remaining learners achieve balance within no more than
    six lessons.
    Overall, more than 90% of learners are able to ride independently
    within six lessons.
  • Key Advice:
    Learning outcomes depend on the individual.
    Children do not always learn faster, and adults are not necessarily slower.
    The most important step is taking the first step—signing up and getting started.

Q3. How many lessons does it usually take to learn?

  • Individual Differences:
    Beginner progress varies from learner to learner.
    Some learners are able to achieve balance in their very first lesson,
    while others may need to attend multiple sessions before balancing independently.
  • Learning Progress:
    On average, more than 50% of learners are able to ride
    and balance a two‑wheel bicycle independently within
    three lessons (each lesson lasts 1.5 hours).
  • High Success Rate:
    Most remaining learners achieve independent balance within
    six lessons.
    Overall, more than 90% of learners are able to ride independently
    within six lessons.
  • Key Advice:
    Learning outcomes depend on the individual.
    Children do not always learn faster, and adults are not necessarily slower.
    There is no absolute guarantee—but taking the first step and getting started is the most important part of the learning journey.

Q4. Can adults enrol? Will it be difficult to learn?

Absolutely—yes! This is one of the most common questions we receive.

INVIS has extensive experience teaching adults, and has helped countless adult learners
overcome fear and learn to ride with confidence.

  • Common Reasons Adults Learn to Ride:
    • Social Activities:
      Friends plan cycling trips to places like Tai Mei Tuk or Sunny Bay,
      and you don’t want to be the only one walking or riding in a vehicle instead.
    • Travel Experiences:
      Cycling adventures in Japan (such as island cycling routes),
      Taiwan, or Europe—discovering scenery at a completely different pace.
    • Family & Parent‑Child Activities:
      After becoming a parent, many discover that while their children are learning to ride,
      they want to ride together—only to realise they never learned themselves.
  • Why Adults Learn Successfully:
    Adults generally have stronger understanding and awareness.
    Our coaches explain techniques using clear balance and physics principles.
    Once the mental barrier is overcome, adults are fully capable of learning to ride.

Q5. Can learners with SEN or special educational needs enrol?

  • Enrollment Recommendation:
    As learners with Special Educational Needs (SEN) may require more focused guidance
    for understanding instructions or motor coordination,
    and to ensure effective learning and safety,
    SEN learners are required to enrol in a Private Class.
  • Mandatory Disclosure:
    Parents or guardians must clearly declare any special learning needs
    of the learner at the time of enrolment.
  • Professional Arrangement:
    Through one‑to‑one Private Classes, coaches are able to adjust teaching pace

Q6. Do parents need to be present during the lesson?


Parents are welcome to observe the lesson on site, provided the following guidelines are strictly followed:

  • Coaching Authority:
    Parents should understand and accept that all care, instruction, and guidance during training are the responsibility of the coach.
    Parents must fully entrust the teaching to INVIS and refrain from giving any instructions during the lesson.
  • Avoid Conflicting Instructions (Most Important):
    Any communication from parents at the sidelines—even positive encouragement—may affect the learner.
    For example: a parent may say “slow down” out of safety concern,
    while the coach may be asking the learner to “speed up” to maintain balance.
    Such conflicting instructions can confuse the learner and may directly increase the risk of accidents.
  • Remain Calm and Composed:
    Parents are role models for their children.
    Even if feeling nervous, excited, or emotional about the learner’s performance,
    parents should remain calm at all times.
    Unless specifically requested by the coach, parents should not participate in the training.
  • Post‑Lesson Communication:
    If parents have any questions or concerns during the lesson,
    they should wait until the session has ended to speak with the coach.
    Coaches are always happy to communicate with parents before or after the lesson.

Q7. Does the course include a bicycle and helmet? Do I need to bring my own equipment?

Everything is provided!
Whether you enrol in a Private Class or an OPEN Group Class,
equipment arrangements are as follows:

  • Included in the course fee:
    All classes include the rental of a
    bicycle, helmet, and protective gear
    (knee and elbow pads).

    • Private Class:
      Equipment rental for the first participant is included.
    • OPEN Group Class:
      Equipment rental is included for all learners.
  • Friendly Reminder:
    Please provide the learner’s height at the time of enrolment
    so that we can prepare the most suitable bicycle size in advance.
  • Recommended Attire:
    Learners only need to wear comfortable sportswear and
    flat, closed‑toe athletic shoes to attend the lesson.

Q8. What qualifications do your coaches/instructors have?

  • Certified Coaches:
    All INVIS coaches hold recognised professional instructor certifications
    and are fully qualified to provide structured and safe cycling instruction.
  • Instructor Training Provider:
    INVIS is also a professional instructor training provider.
    In addition to teaching learners, we train cycling coaches within the industry,
    ensuring our teaching standards remain at the forefront of professional practice.

Q9. How many learners are there in each class? Can I choose a specific coach/instructor?

  • Small Class Ratios:
    • OPEN Group Class:
      The standard coach‑to‑learner ratio is 1:1 to 1:3 to ensure high‑quality instruction.
      The maximum ratio is 1:5.
    • Private Class:
      Group size may be decided by the learner.
      However, to maintain teaching effectiveness and safety,
      bookings are generally accepted for 1:1 to 1:5.
  • Coach / Instructor Selection:
    • Private Class:
      Learners may request a specific coach/instructor.
      An additional fee may apply for instructor selection.
    • OPEN Group Class:
      No instructor selection is available.
      Coaches are assigned by INVIS based on course scheduling and progress.

Q10. Are classes held indoors or outdoors?

  • Indoor Training Venue:
    INVIS operates an indoor facility at our Sha Tin Cycling Training Centre.
    Beginner Classes are usually conducted indoors first,
    allowing learners to focus on balance practice in a safe and comfortable environment
    without weather interference.
  • Progress‑Based Transition:
    Depending on the learner’s progress,
    coaches may arrange outdoor practice sessions
    at the adventure cycling park located opposite the centre,
    to help learners apply skills in a real riding environment.
  • Private Class Arrangement:
    Private Classes offer greater flexibility in venue selection.
    In addition to the Sha Tin headquarters,
    sessions may be arranged at other designated locations,
    which are typically outdoor venues.

Q11. Can lessons be held at locations outside of Sha Tin?

  • Private Class Arrangement:
    Yes, private classes offer greater flexibility in venue selection.
    In addition to our Sha Tin headquarters,
    lessons may also be arranged at other legally permitted cycling locations
    such as Cyberport, West Kowloon, Tseung Kwan O, Tsuen Wan,
    Yuen Long, Tuen Mun, and other suitable areas.
  • Booking Limitations:
    Lessons conducted outside the Sha Tin headquarters are
    generally available on weekdays only
    and must be scheduled in advance with the coach
    to confirm time availability.
  • OPEN Group Classes:
    To ensure consistent teaching quality and proper equipment support,
    all OPEN Group Classes are conducted
    exclusively at the Sha Tin headquarters.

Q12. Can I earn Asia Miles by enrolling in a course?

Miles can be earned by enrolling in designated courses.
However, all mileage rewards are subject to the relevant terms and conditions.
Please note that mileage rewards are credited to the participant only and are non‑transferable.
Mileage cannot be earned on behalf of another person—for example, parents may not use their own Cathay membership account to earn miles for a child’s course.
All required information, including the Cathay membership number and registered name, must be provided proactively before the lesson for registration purposes.
If the required details are not submitted prior to the lesson, mileage rewards will not be credited retroactively.

Q13. Do you offer trial lessons?

  • Single Lesson as a Trial:
    INVIS does not offer free trial lessons or trial discounts.
    As some learners may achieve two‑wheel balance in their very first lesson,
    you may enrol in a single lesson as a trial.
  • Flexible Upgrade Option:
    After the first lesson, if you wish to continue developing your riding skills,
    you may purchase a 4‑lesson discounted package.
    Please note that the fee paid for the first standalone lesson
    cannot be deducted from or retroactively applied to the package discount.

Q14. Do I need to enrol in multiple lessons at once? Can I sign up one lesson at a time?

  • Enrollment Options:
    Yes. Learners may enrol in a single lesson for flexible scheduling.
  • Package Offer:
    A 10% discount is available when enrolling in a 4‑lesson package.
  • Package Validity:
    Discounted lesson packages must be fully used within three months.
    As class slots are limited, learners are advised to contact us via WhatsApp
    and confirm all lesson dates at the time of payment to avoid availability issues.
  • Class Grouping:
    As the participant type (adult or child) for each time slot is determined by the
    first learner who books, daily class arrangements may vary.
    Early booking is therefore recommended.

Q15. Can I reschedule my lesson after enrolling?

  • Limited Availability:
    As all classes are conducted in small groups,
    availability is limited.
    Learners are advised to confirm their schedules carefully before enrolling.
  • Rescheduling Fee:
    Any confirmed booking that requires a change will be subject to
    an administrative fee, including changes due to illness.
  • Administrative Fee Details:
    The rescheduling fee is charged based on the notice period:

    • More than 7 days before the lesson date:
      HK$150 per change
    • 7 days or less before the lesson date:
      HK$250 per change

Q16. Can I attend weekend classes at the weekday rate?

  • Weekday to Weekend:
    If you have enrolled in a weekday lesson and wish to attend a weekend session instead,
    you may upgrade by paying the price difference
    and a rescheduling administrative fee (from HK$150),
    subject to availability.
  • Weekend to Weekday:
    If a weekend‑priced lesson is later rescheduled to a weekday time slot,
    the price difference will not be refunded.

Q17. Is it possible that I may not be able to secure class slots within the validity period?

The level of each time slot is determined by the first learner who makes the booking.

INVIS recommends contacting us via3543 0033before making payment to confirm and secure all lesson dates and time slots in advance.
Once a booking is confirmed, INVIS will proceed according to the confirmed arrangements.

If all four lessons are not fully scheduled at the time of payment,preferred time slots may no longer be available.

Should this result in the package validity period being exceeded, INVIS shall not be held responsible.

Q18. What happens in the event of adverse weather or rain?

    • Cancellation Decision:
      If lessons cannot proceed due to adverse weather conditions,
      the coach will make a cancellation decision
      at least 1.5 hours before the scheduled lesson time.
    • Make‑Up Lesson Arrangement:
      If a lesson is cancelled by INVIS,
      learners may arrange a make‑up lesson
      within three months from the cancellation date.
      As adverse weather may affect many learners at the same time,
      learners are advised to
      contact us proactively via WhatsApp or phone
      to confirm lesson status and follow‑up arrangements,
      so as to avoid any missed communication.
