Description

Are you looking for an exciting way to help your child master the art of cycling? Join Raleigh Parks and Oaks and Spokes for an engaging Learn to Ride event designed to build confidence and coordination. This program utilizes the proven balance bike method, which removes pedals and training wheels to help participants develop natural balance and control. Whether your child is just starting out or needs a boost in confidence, our dedicated volunteers are there to guide them every step of the way. We provide all necessary balance bikes and helmets, though you are welcome to bring your own equipment. Our skilled bike mechanics are also on site to assist with removing pedals and training wheels from personal bicycles to ensure a seamless experience.

This free, community-focused initiative is perfect for children ages five and older. Please note that space is limited and these popular sessions often fill up very quickly. We encourage you to visit the official Raleigh Parks website to secure your spot as soon as registration opens. Take this wonderful opportunity to empower your young rider and enjoy a morning of active learning at the beautiful Gibson Play Plaza.
