At PedalPower Kids, we understand how difficult it can be to teach a child a new skill. That’s why we strive to provide professional, encouraging instruction that builds trust and confidence. Our specialized Learn to Ride lessons, camps, and group programs are designed to be fun and effective, as evidenced by the thousands of “miracle worker” stories we hear every year.
Each child is unique, and they each approach learning to ride in their own way. We take this into consideration when developing our instruction methods, so that each student can reach their full potential. We know that each learner is capable of mastering the skill of riding a bike, and with our personalized instruction and support, they can dig deep and believe in themselves enough to stay on two wheels.
At PedalPower Kids, it’s our mission to get more kids on bikes. We’re proud to have been trusted by thousands of families to provide the best instruction and guidance for their children, and we’re always honored to be called “Bike Whisperers” and “miracle workers”. Ultimately, it’s the kids themselves who are the real miracle workers, as they face their fears and keep trying until they find success.
Our Learn to Ride summer camps offer a fun and encouraging environment to ditch the training wheels and ride with confidence! Many campers begin the week reluctant, scared and resistant- and often by the end of the second day of camp, all campers are riding independently! There’s something to be said about the positive peer pressure of a group setting. In addition to learning to ride independently using our signature “glide” method, campers learn to turn, start & stop, modulate speed, ride in a group and much more. In partnership with local recreation agencies, camps are offered at parks and recreation centers and include a variety of fun elements on and off the bike- from crafts to games to learning about healthy food choices and visiting with local seniors. The week ends with a bike parade for parents and friends, and a new batch of lifelong riders!

BIKE CLUBS
Our Bike Clubs are for developing riders who are ready to improve their skills and endurance through group rides in and around local trails and parks. Often, there is ice cream involved! Typically meeting weekly, we have weekday and weekend options- Bike Club was created because many of our students just wanted to keep riding with us! Bike Club members are typically ages 5-12 and must be able to ride proficiently without training wheels.

SMALL GROUP LEARN TO RIDE
After teaching more than 1500 children how to ride a bike safely and confidently, we can say with certainty, peer interaction is a great motivator! We feel that many children, even and especially those with anxiety and apprehension about riding, perform and learn better in a small group setting rather than one-on-one. That’s why we’re delighted to offer small group Learn to Ride programs year-round- the best of both worlds- lots of individualized instruction with the affordability and peer motivation of a group class.
