Learn to Ride: Free Bicycle Instruction for Kids
Are you looking to help your child master the joy of cycling? Join Raleigh Parks and Oaks and Spokes for our popular Learn to Ride program, specifically designed to help children aged five and older build essential balance and control. Our expert volunteers utilize the proven balance bike method, which removes pedals to allow young riders to safely navigate the basics of steering and stabilization before transitioning to a full bicycle. Whether you are a beginner or looking to ditch the training wheels, our team is here to support every step of the journey.
Events are held throughout the spring at Lions Park Community Center and the beautiful Gipson Play Plaza at Dix Park. We provide necessary equipment including helmets and balance bikes, though participants are welcome to bring their own gear. Because these sessions fill up rapidly, please note the specific registration opening dates for each location. We encourage families to secure their spots early to ensure a place in this empowering community workshop. Visit our website to register today and prepare for a season of fun on two wheels.
