Should we sign up for a group clinic or private lessons?We almost always recommend registering for a group clinic first. We have an array of kids ranging ages 5-12 (so, no, your child will not feel out of place based on age!) and ability levels in the class. We provide a strictly non-competitive environment so kids can feel comfortable learning at their own pace. The positive peer influence encourages kids to learn to ride and group classes are FUN! You know your child best and if you feel they need 1:1 lessons, we can do that! Not sure? Contact us and we will help guide you based on your child's needs.

How many clinics will it take for my child to learn to ride a bike?Most kids learn how to pedal within 1 clinic. For some, achieving the skill may take more practice at home, another group clinic, or a private lesson. There are 3 factors that determine how many lessons it will take: 1. Risk Tolerance: How risky or cautious is your child? The more cautious or nervous, the longer it may take. 2. Motivation: How motivated are they to learn? The more motivated, the quicker they learn. 3. Balance: Have they had any practice with balancing on a bike? Past experience on a balance bike is very helpful when learning to ride. We emphasis that each child learns the skill at their own pace. We don't push them to reach the milestone if they are not ready. We look for progress and celebrate each individual's success!

What should we bring to class?Bring their bike if they have one. The goal is to have them ride the bike they will ride at home. If they don't have one or you are not sure if your child's bike is the right fit, check that you need to borrow one during the registration process. Properly fitted helmet. Small snack and water bottle. We will take a break halfway through class to refuel.
