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.

When: Saturday May 17th, 10am – 12pm

Where: 633 Howard Road Southeast Washington, DC 20020

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:

• Bike rentals are included for all students. Students may bring their own bike and helmet but they must be in good working condition. Our Instructors cannot do any maintenance.
• 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!
