Bike Skills 101: Learn to Ride — Teens & Tweens
Overview
Bike Skills 101: Learn to Ride — Teens and Tweens is a free group class for kids and teens ages 10 and up who are ready to ride a bicycle for the first time. With our safe, easy, effective method taught by experienced instructors, participants will learn how to balance, pedal, start, stop, and steer a bicycle.

testimonial
This class was simply fantastic! Thank you and your instructors very much for getting my kids to ride bikes without training wheels within 10 minutes of the beginning of the class! Both kids had previously used balance bikes and then pedal bikes with training wheels but your method supported their experience and they came out of the class as true bike riders.
