About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Learn or re-learn how to ride a bicycle.

The Learn-to-Ride Class: Adults and Teens is for teens (15+)* and adults who want to learn or re-learn how to ride a bicycle. With our safe, easy, and efficient curriculum, participants will gain the confidence to master fundamental bike riding skills. Most participants will leave knowing how to ride a bike without support; if not, they'll leave equipped to keep learning independently.

In this class, you'll learn:

  • Basic bike riding skills, including starting, stopping, steering, and balancing
  • How to adjust a bike helmet for appropriate fit
  • How to adjust a bike’s seat to your height
  • Discounted access to the Heartland Bike Share System and resources for continuing your cycling journey

Bikes and helmets are provided for all participants.

*A parent must be present throughout the class if a participant is a minor (under 19 years old).

This class is made possible by the support of our partners:

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to wear?

Clothes you're comforting moving in. Avoid loose pant legs to keep them out of the way as you pedal. Wear shoes that you'd feel comfortable doing physical activity in like close-toed shoes or sandals with a heel strap. You'll be using your feet A LOT - so make sure you can be as mobile as possible!

Do I need to bring anything?

We recommend bringing a filled water bottle to help keep you hydrated!

Do I have to sign up to attend?

Yes, pre-registration is required to ensure we have enough bikes, helmets, and instructors available!
