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.
