Is your child struggling to ride a bike? Our fun, proven methods have already brought the joy of biking to thousands of kids! REI's kid-friendly guides offer a perfect blend of personalized and group instruction to help conquer fears and master essential skills like balance, starting, stopping, and maneuvering around obstacles. Sometimes a single lesson is all it takes, but we gladly welcome students as many times as they'd like to attend. To ensure safety and comfort, bring a properly fitted bike for your child. They should be able to sit on the seat with their feet flat on the ground. Please remove pedals and training wheels prior to arrival (or show up at least 20 minutes early so we can help with this). Appropriate for riders ages who are at least 5 years old and up to age 12. Accompanying adults must remain onsite during the course.
