Question 1

What if my child doesn't have a bicycle or helmet?

Accepted Answer

Bike Fun has student bikes and helmets  for use during the class. One of our 2024 goals is to be able to provide students with bicycles to take home and keep  - availability will depend on current bicycle donations, and we will let you know if that's possible!

Question 2

How can I make sure my rider's bike is ready?

Accepted Answer

Tires should be able to be inflated & show no signs of dry rot. Handbrakes should be able to stop the bicycle. Coaster brakes should stop the rear wheel. Have a bike shop check the bike over if you're not certain. (You don't need to remove training wheels in advance.)

Question 3

Should the parent or caregiver stay for the whole class?

Accepted Answer

Parents and caregivers are welcome to stay and support their young riders (and maybe learn a little bit, too!). If you do need to leave, we ask that you return no later than 30 mins before the end of the class.

Question 4

Will the student learn how to ride in two hours?

Accepted Answer

Our goal at Bike Fun is to provide a supportive, encouraging atmosphere in which to learn bicycle riding skills. Not everyone will "graduate" to pedals during the class - but many do, especially if they have had some prior experience and exposure to bicycle riding.

Question 5

What if we register for the class but cannot make it?

Accepted Answer

If something comes up in your life, we can issue a class credit to put towards another class registration, or we can apply the balance towards a private lesson.
