Learn to Ride Classes
The Parks Department and Bike New York are proud to present Learn to Ride classes for children. In these free classes, we’ll teach your son or daughter the fundamentals of bicycling, preparing him or her for years of safe and confident riding.
Fall classes have ended. Parents, stay tuned for post-holiday events, so your children can learn to ride their new bikes!

Kids Class Description:
This class (formerly known as Teach Your Child to Ride a Bike) teaches a safe, easy, effective way to learn to ride. Using this "balance first" method, parents help get their children rolling while the child does most of the work. Participants learn the basics of balancing, starting, stopping, and steering a bike. Most people learn to ride their bike while taking the class, but even if they don't, they will leave with an easy, hands-free, crash-free, and low-stress way to learn to ride.
