As with any lesson in any topic we can’t guarantee that your child(ren) will achieve all of their or your goals. Every child learns differently and every child’s outlook on bike riding is different. Our coaches are excellent in teaching skills that make bike riding easier and safer. They can’t teach a child to “want to ride” or to “like to ride.” Please be sure that your child is interested in bike riding to make the lesson more efficient and more pleasurable for your child.

Middle School Bike Skills

Middle School Bike Skills

Middle School Bike Skills will help your child gain valuable skills and confidence to safely bicycle to school, the park, the mall, and beyond. The half-day class covers basic traffic laws, busy intersections, how to avoid the most common crashes, how to position yourself on the road, how to let drivers know your intentions using proper hand signals, and basic bike and helmet fitting. Classes are open to children entering 6th – 8th in the fall and are held on a Saturday or Sunday morning. The course begins with an in-person interactive review of biking basics, then moves to smaller groups for on-bike training & practice: bike/helmet checks, skills practice on a protected black-top area, then a bike ride around the neighborhood to put those newly learned skills to practice.

The Middle School Bike Skills Class ensures students acquire the street navigation and bike handling skills needed to safely and confidently ride to school and beyond. Class sessions are taught by League of American Bicyclists League Cycling Instructors (LCI) through Wheel Kids Bicycle Club. For any questions about MSBS please email: msbs@wheelkids.com
