Youth Learn to Ride Workshop – Saturday, April 15 – 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
This 2-hour session is a free group class for children age 5 and up who are ready to ride a two-wheeler for the first time. With our safe and efficient method taught by experienced instructors, kids will learn how to balance, pedal, start, stop, and steer a bicycle. Most students get the hang of it in one session, but even if they don’t, families will be able to observe a simple, low-stress technique that they can continue to practice at home.
