About Us
“Hi I’m Karen! Better known as Kaz or Kazzi. I am a nursery nurse, BMX racer and former mx rider. I founded Ready Steady Riders in September 2016, 6 months after buying my daughter a strider bike for her 2nd birthday. We decided life is better behind bars, and it’s been an awesome ride so far!
Riding a bike is a life skill, independence, a foundation for healthy, active lifestyles, and possibly the best gift you can give a child. This belief and value is at the heart of all Ready Steady Riders are and do” -Coach Kazzi
To a toddler a balance bike so much more than just a bike, it’s a valuable tool for learning essential life skills, and gateway to freedom and independence.
By providing children with a bike that they can ride easily from the age of 1 they learn to ride a bike as easily as they learn to walk. Balance, coordination, speed perception and control are all mastered before pedals are introduced. Balance bike riders bypass stabilisers and make the transition to pedals and brake levers smoothly and effortlessly.
Sessions
We run #SuperSaturday at Birmingham BMX track, a balance bike only session for children age 1-6. We have 2 groups, group 1 ride the pump track with Sophie and group 2 ride the big track with Kazzi.
By giving children the opportunity to ride together in a safe and encouraging environment, we promote the development of early cycle skills, self confidence and more.
We operate on a rock up and ride basis so there is no need to prebook. Riders are required to bring their own balance bike, helmet and gloves. Why not pop along and check one out?

Racing
Ready Steady Riders RACING is every bit as awesome as it sounds. The term “racing” is used lightly. These events are designed to build confidence and inspire children to grow and achieve, whilst having fun with friends, and winning medals! Children age 1-6 can compete, with no previous experience. Ready Steady Riders racing is fun and entertaining for all!
Our 1st race ran on 6th October 2019 and was a huge success! We can't wait to do more next year. Keep on eye on our FB events page for updates...

What Parents Think
"Been coming three months and from then we’ve mastered balance bike to graduating to pedals. Kaz is fab and we want to shout about this to everyone we know!"
"So two weeks to the day since he graduated to pedals with Ready Steady Riders he did 5.5 miles on Monday and wanted to come back so today did 11 miles on the Camel trail - Wadebridge to Padstow and back again!!! All down to Kaz and me bringing him regularly over two months to balance bike sessions! Don’t underestimate the balance bike!"

"Our son had his first try today, superbly organised with caring and friendly people. Thank you very much!"
Hannah Preston
"I took my son for the first time yesterday , he can come across quite shy and usually takes a while to warm up to new environment, people and activities but after about 5 minutes his helmet was on , he was on the bike and away he went. Karen was absolutely fantastic and my son loved her. He tried the ramp/gate all within the first 10 minutes with Karen by his side. Absolutely amazing I can’t recommend enough."
