“It was so wonderful to see him riding and I am very happy that you managed to turn around his perception of riding. He’d really become quite anxious about it but after his lesson with you, he said it was fun!”
Wheel Kids’ private riding lessons provide one-on-one instruction for children ages 5 and up of any cycling ability. Whether your child’s goal is to master riding without training wheels or advanced-level safety skills instruction our coaches can provide an individualized program to meet your needs. We’re happy to discuss with you whether a single lesson is best or if a series of lessons should be considered.
To determine your child’s riding skill level please refer to our Rider Skills Categories list.
- Lessons typically occur on weekends or after school during weekdays.
- The San Francisco location is our clubhouse or the Panhandle where Ashbury Street crosses Oak and Fell.
- Walnut Creek and Palo Alto locations will vary; please contact us and we’ll work out a convenient location.
- If these times or locations don’t work for you let us know; we’ll figure out an alternative that works for both of us.
