Learn to Ride a Bike (for Kids1 August 9, 2008

This class (formerly known as Teach Your Child to Ride a Bike) teaches a safe, easy, effective way to learn to ride. Using this "balance first" method, parents help get their children rolling while the child does most of the work.

Participants learn the basics of balancing, starting, stopping, and steering a bike. Most people learn to ride their bike while taking the class, but even if they don't, they will leave with an easy, hands-free, crash-free, and low-stress way to learn to ride.
