Learn to Pedal / Early Beginner Rider: Learning to ride a bicycle is a moment in someone’s life that will forever change their life in a positive way. In this 1 day camp we welcome kids that are beginners, who either have no experience pedaling, are riding a strider, using training wheels, or are just starting to pedal on their own. The rider may have a hard time starting or weaves excessively while riding. Fear and hesitation may be noticeable, this is normal. We use a variety of drills, courses, and adaptive techniques all based on your child's abilities. Our goal is for your child to have fun learning to ride and establish the fundamentals for a lifetime of riding with control and confidence.

Novice / Intermediate Rider: Our focus is further developing the necessary skills the kids need when riding. We have a variety of drills and courses along with adaptive techniques that build excellent handling and control of the bicycle. Having situational awareness and control are the primary safety mechanisms to prevent accidents. Class will operate in a safe, enclosed parking lot as a learning environment, so children can practice a wide range of skills safely based on the child's individual abilities. It's fun and we see that in the children's mileage: some ride up to 20 miles during a one day class. Riding and navigating around other riders on closed courses increases teamwork, control, handling, and awareness. These skills are needed to ride in the real world.

Your child may or may not be ready to move up to the next level of Pedaling Minds classes after completing this one day class, but we do encourage you to sign up for a future multi-day class where we do go ride.
