Bike Beginner Kids Lesson Description

This class is designed for the absolute beginner. We start the child on a size appropriate bike which is initially set up without peddles. As the child gains confidence and competence in balancing, we will add in the peddles. Our bikes have special 'soft' pedals which minimizes boo boos. The instructor will work with the parent or guardian to determine how many lessons are needed, but generally at the end of three lessons they child will be able to confidently start, stop, peddle and navigate their bike in a controlled area like a driveway or parking lot.
