CURRENTLY RECRUITING:

Bike and kid enthusiasts in the Pleasanton and North Berkley Areas!

Do you like to ride your bike? Have you worked with kids? Wanna do both and get paid?! We’re looking to hire people that are familiar with either the North Berkley or Pleasanton areas to start-up a new location for our camps. We have a great camp formula and we get asked all the time to offer something in these two areas, but we need someone who knows these areas a little better than we do.

Please give us a call if you are interested in sharing what you have to offer: Tiffany (four-one-five) 654-3244.

Summer and Year-round Bike Coaches!

We call our instructors Coaches – because, like a bicycling team’s coaches, our staff do anything they can to make sure their riders (the kids) have a great time, are kept safe during all of our events, and reach their full potential no matter what program we’re providing. We hire creative and energetic people who love kids, bicycling, adventure and fun; who can lead, mentor and inspire; and who want to expand their own horizons and gain great career experience while working in one of the most exciting and unique day camps in the Bay Area. Coaches are expected to be ambassadors of good bicycling who actively model and demonstrate the skills and attitudes necessary to promote a positive relationship with the public.
