About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

WABA's Adult Learn to Ride class is for participants 18 and older. Our experienced Instructors break the skills down step by step to get you on a bike and rolling in no time. Participants learn to start and stop, balance, glide, pedal and steer a bike and progress at their own pace.

Frequently asked questions

Are you sure my child can learn to ride in 2 hours?

WABA's experienced instructors teach children the building blocks to becoming confident riders. As with any skill, practice makes perfect & students will progress at their own pace. We have taught hundreds of children to ride over the years, and will provide personalized feedback to help your child.

How do I make sure my child's bike is in good condition?

We recommend checking out the video links above to make sure your child's bike fits them well and is in good working order. If you're not sure if your child's bike is ready to ride, we recommend bringing it to a bike shop!

What should we bring with to class?

Water, closed-toed shoes, athletic clothing, appropriate outerwear, snacks, and sunscreen!
