Learn To Ride a Bike
We offer classes for learning how to ride a bike with both individual or group lessons for children, and individual lessons for adults. Most people learn in one, two-hour session, but if you or your child need more instruction after one session we can provide follow-up coaching.
We have all sizes of “balance bikes” (without pedals, cranks or chains) to get started, but students are urged to bring their own bikes if they have them, to make sure they fit and work properly. We can provide loaner bikes and helmets if you don’t bring one, or if you need one to practice with at home after class (with a $35 deposit).
Group lessons for kids:
Offered seasonally
Each lesson is between 90 min and 2 hours (same as private lessons).
We believe that group lessons are usually more effective than private lessons because kids learn by seeing how others overcome their challenges.
All group lessons are taught by Jim, our executive director, who has decades of experience teaching kids and adults how to ride.
Students generally range in age from 3-12.
Pricing:
- $35 per student
- If the cost is a hardship, please ask about ways to volunteer that will be educational and fun, or about our Pay What You Can program.

Private lessons for adults or children:
Offered year round, weather permitting
Each lesson is between 90 minutes and 2 hours (same a group lesson).
Private lessons on Tuesdays are taught by Jim (our executive director). Private lessons on Wednesdays and Saturdays are taught by Stella (our learn to ride instructor, who has years of experience as a sports coach for kids and adults).
Pricing:
- $90 for the first student
- plus $15 per each additional student attending the same lesson
- For example, a parent can schedule one lesson for two siblings to attend together. The price would be $105.
