Parents saw real improvements in their children’s cycling and some children learned to cycle without support. Overall, all the children gained in confidence on their bikes.

The girls benefitted hugely from this programme. Some of the children learned to cycle- a skill they didn’t have. We saw huge benefits for our special educational needs children. This course was so professionally run. Ulick has so much patience and makes it a very enjoyable exercise.

ELEANOR

Scoil Ghobnatan, Mallow

Very positive experience. Skills developed included turn taking, feathering the breaks, confidence with balance, following instructions, taking off and stopping on time, stopping suddenly and dismounting from the bicycle etc. The children’s confidence developed in cycling. They had fun and kept asking when cycling was happening again.

MAIREAD

Facilitator was excellent - friendly rapport and well-organised.

LIZ

Dunmanway Infant School

As an Infant School, we got great benefit from participating in this programme as many of our children learned how to balance on their bikes and even learned how to cycle without stabilisers for the very first time. All feedback from parents and children was positive. It was a great way of encouraging children to get out on their bikes again.

SEAN

Bandon Boy's School

Some of our pupils learned to cycle for the first time. Some more greatly improved their cycling skills, while others gained the confidence to be able to cycle soon. Ulick’ s pleasant nature with our pupils ensured everything ran smoothly.

GERARD

Enniskeane National School

All children gained in confidence to acquire cycling skills. Children who would not have been exposed to cycling were given the opportunity among their peers. 

ALANA

Bandon Gaelscoil

The children benefitted hugely from the programme, improving their gross motor skills and developing confidence in their cycling ability. Some of the children improved massively in the space of a few short weeks.

BERNADETTE

Presentation Girls School

Ulick was so kind to the children and had such a gentle and encouraging manner with the girls. He taught different cycling skills, cycling safely and had a lovely range of activities and games. He was encouraging to all the children and each child made progress at their own level.

The children developed a very positive attitude towards cycling, developed cycling confidence, cycling skills and developed an awareness of cycle safety. I would highly recommend Ulick as a cycling teacher and hope we see him again soon for more lessons.   

We at Presentation Primary School Bandon would whole heartedly recommend and endorse the cycling programme taught by Ulick.

Last year we attended one of your bike camps in the Family Resource Centre in Dunmanway, my two little girls were 5 and 2 at the time, they loved the camp and I was so impressed by how fun you made it and how brilliant you were with the little kids ,very easygoing and gentle but such fun. 

When we got home from the last day of the camp the older girl got out of the car straight onto her pedal bike which she had never got the hang of and she took off cycling and never looked back ! As for the little one... she and her pedal bike are ONE, and fearlessly brilliant! The faster and steeper the better!  

They enjoyed their bikes through the winter but when we got to lockdown in March their bikes became the top and constant activity everyday, they have played on them for HOURS, WEEKS, MONTHS. 

Bike hide and seek, bike chase, bike obstacle courses, bikes in the house ,bikes in the field, bikes in the bathroom, complicated biking princess vet games, bikes in lava games, bikes in the woods, bikes down the road, bikes in the polytunnel, bikes towing each other , bikes being horses/rockets/racing cars, bikes rescuing teddies, bikes on ramps, biking through puddles, bike dancing and biking while singing, flying bikes and picnics on bikes.  

Every time I see them flying around on their bikes shrieking with glee with their blonde pigtails flying I think of you and of how wonderful it is that you gave them such a fun start on their biking adventures and of all the enjoyment they will continue to get from BIKES! 

Ulick O’Beirne worked in our school as Cycling Ireland coach with all age levelsfrom Junior Infants to Sixth Class as well as with children in our two ASD Units. Ulick has great passion for all aspects of cycling, he has a wonderful way of imparting the necessary skills to children who have a varied knowledge and levels of cycling ability.

Ulick brings fun and games to cycling for children. He encourages children to have a go and try their best without ever putting any child under pressure to achieve, he takes teach child at their own pace and brings them on from thereon a weekly basis. It is obvious that Ulick enjoys his work and he endeavours to devise new games and drills to make cycling fun, enjoyable and a life skill. If a child can leave primary school with an ability to cycle and a love for cycling it is a great life skill.

The children loved the cycling and really enjoyed going out every week. All of them have improved since Ulick first arrived. He spent time with those who needed some extra guidance and got everyone involved no matter what level they were at. Feedback from the parent teacher meetings was also very positive and parents thought it was a fantastic initiative to run in our school. Ulick was excellent. I think cycling is the activity that the children got most excited about in the school week and loved it.
