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. Once you complete the registration, please register through this Eventbrite link.

This class is right for your child if:

• 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

Equipment:

• All students are responsible for bringing their own bicycles and helmet. All students are required to wear a helmet for the duration of the class.
• Please watch this video and check over the bike that will be used for class to make sure it is in proper working order before class.
• Also, check out this video 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 youth@waba.org if you have questions!
