Common questions
What should I wear?
Thick jeans (or sturdy long pants) and closed-toe
shoes.
Denim is the single biggest thing that protects your skin if
you tumble — more useful than a helmet for most beginner
falls. Tights, leggings, shorts or thin pants give almost no
protection, so save those for after you're comfortable on
the bike.
Do I need a helmet or pads?
Up to you — we don't require them. If you'd like protection,
bring your own helmet, gloves or pads. We'll never push gear
you don't want.
Can I learn in just one lesson?
Yes — averagely, most of our students manage to pedal on
their own by the end of their first 60-minute session.
Coming back for subsequent lessons aids in locking it in,
manoeuvring and braking.
How many lessons do most people need?
Our honest suggestion: within 2–4 lessons is a good gauge to
get you rolling. Lesson 1 — balancing; lessons 2–3 —
manoeuvring and braking; lesson 4 — real-world skills
(confidence riding while braking and manoeuvring in a
lightly crowded park).
Do you bring the bike?
Only if you add it on (+S$5/lesson). Otherwise bring your
own — any working bike is fine. Kindly take note, currently
we do not provide bicycles for kids below 12 years old.
Can adults learn from scratch?
Absolutely! About 90% of our adult students are
first-timers. So fret not — start learning now.
Is the coach a woman?
Yes. OhmRide is founded and run by a female coach, so every
lesson is 1-on-1 with her. Many of our adult learners are
women picking up cycling for the first time, and often feel
more at ease with a patient female instructor.
