Adult First Ride in Bentonville

Trailblazers is thrilled to bring Adult First Ride to Bentonville! If you are an adult who has never learned how to ride a bike or it's been a long time, this is the perfect opportunity for you. Trailblazers instructors and trained volunteers will be there to guide you every step of the way.

Adult First Ride is split into three lessons, covering crucial topics like balancing, pedaling, braking, shifting, turning, safety, and more. (See the Agenda for more details) Whether you're just learning how to pedal or seeking to enhance your abilities, this class is made for you.

Since Trailblazers HQ has easy access to the bike path, we'll wrap up our last class by going for a group ride together!

No bike? No problem. Bikes and helmets and all learning equipment will be provided by Trailblazers. (Our standard class bike is the Specialized Roll 2.0, with a 300lb weight limit and a step-through frame. )

Interested in taking a FREE bike home? For those who join us for the full series, you can leave with new skills AND a free refurbished bike and helmet thanks to our partnership with Pedal It Forward. (Be sure to sign up for all three dates and choose the Free Bike Add-on when purchasing your ticket!)

Location: All three sessions will take place in a secured area of the Cognizant Parking lot east of the Trailblazers HQ Building. (Map below)

Parking: You will park at Trailblazers HQ and walk over to the Cognizant Parking lot east of the building. (Map Below)

This class is free of charge but hey, here's the deal – this class is available thanks to community and sponsorship support. If you register but something comes up, please notify us as soon as possible. If you notify us 48 hours before class, we can invite someone else to take part in this unique opportunity.
