Bike NY: Kids can learn to ride a two-wheeler!
The Learn to Ride Class - Kids class teaches a safe, easy, effective way to learn to ride. Participants learn the basics of balancing, starting, stopping, and steering a bike, as well as proper helmet fit and adjustment. Most kids will 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. The class is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is suggested. Register online at www.bikenewyork.org, or stop by between 11am and 2pm with your bike and helmet!
