Youth Learn to Ride

WABA’s Youth Learn to Ride class breaks learning how to ride a bike down into 3 steps: gliding, pedaling and riding. This class is for children aged 6-12 who have never ridden a bike before or have tried to learn and have not been successful. Our League Cycling Instructors (LCIs) take students through a progressive curriculum, with the goal of riding with two pedals by the end of the session.

• They are between the ages of 6 and 12 years old
• Your child has never tried to learn how to ride a bike
• They have tried to learn and have not been successful

• Participants can request a bike rental or bring their own bike to class.
• All students are required to wear a helmet for the duration of the class.
• Please and check over the bike that will be used for class to make sure it is in proper working order before class.
• Also, on how to fit a child’s bike to make sure it is the right size before coming to class.
• Your child should be able to sit on the saddle with their feet on the ground. If their bike is too big or too small for them, it will be a challenge to teach them to use it. Contact us at [email protected] if you have questions!
