Friends & Siblings

We will try to accommodate friends or siblings who wish to ride together.

If you’re registering along with a friend for the same week(s) and wish to ride together, please let us know.

Two Wheelers Club

Ages 4 – 8

Learn to Ride

Two-Wheelers club is for kids who want to learn to ride, improve on their fundamentals, or gain the confidence and stamina needed for  Lil’ Cruisers or Camp Cruisin’.

The emphasis of TWC is obtaining the balance and coordination needed to ride on two wheels, and to master the fundamentals of starting, stopping, and controlled forward movement. It’s also an opportunity for young riders to gain confidence in their riding skills before tackling the more challenging rides of Lil’ Cruisers or Camp Cruisin’.

Each day of the week provides a mix of on-bike training and practice and off-bike opportunities to play and forget about learning to ride for a while. The day’s schedule is flexible, allowing the kids and coaches to figure out what’s best at any given time – some groups of kids are eager to ride as much as possible while others are more comfortable with a more relaxed pace.

Two-Wheeler’s club is a half-day camp with Morning sessions: Monday – Friday 8:30AM – 11:30AM

This camp is open to Level 1 – 2 cyclists, ages 4 – 8.

Bike Requirement: Properly fitting two-wheel pedal bike with either coaster or hand brake. Child must be able to easily touch their feet to the ground while seated.

Once kids have successfully completed Two Wheelers Club they may continue their bicycling adventures by attending Lil’ Cruisers or Camp Cruisin’. When registering children age 6 to 8 in Two Wheelers, you may also register for later LC or CC weeks; however, Wheel Kids reserves the right to hold a child in Two Wheelers Club if his/her skills are not sufficient for LC or CC activities. Children age 5 are only eligible for our Two-Wheeler and Lil’ Cruiser programs.
