For kids and families
This free bike skills program is designed for kids to learn the most important lesson of riding a bicycle: Balancing independently (no training wheels needed)!
We'll use games and skill lessons to practice balancing, and ultimately pedaling, in a safe and fun group environment. This class will be most appropriate for kids who can confidently walk/jump/talk, follow basic directions, and who don't already know how to balance a two-wheeled bike. Generally, we find that kids ages 5 and up are ready to learn to ride, though we welcome all ages and every child is unique.
Participants will be provided with one of our balance bikes (a bicycle with no pedals or training wheels) and a helmet, if they need one. We'll put pedals on the bikes as children master the balancing aspect. You're also welcome to bring your child's own helmet and bike, which our mechanics will convert to a balance bike for you!
This event is held in partnership with Oaks and Spokes, a non-profit dedicated to transforming Raleigh into a city where walking and biking are safe, accessible, and integral to everyday life.
