Who Pedal Academy is For

Ages 4–9 | All Skill Levels Welcome

From kids learning the fundamentals of riding to young cyclists looking to sharpen their bike-handling skills, Pedal Academy meets riders where they are and helps them progress at their own pace.

What to Expect

Each session combines skill development, games, and guided riding activities designed to keep kids engaged while they learn. Our goal is to create an environment where kids feel comfortable trying new skills, making mistakes, and building confidence on the bike.


Help Keep Pedal Academy Rolling

Every kid deserves the chance to discover the confidence, freedom, and joy that comes from riding a bike. Right now, Pedal Academy is a paid program. Our goal is to make it fully donation-funded in the future, helping make the program accessible to even more kids and families.

Your support can help put more kids on bikes and give them an opportunity to learn, grow, and experience the excitement of riding with a group. Every contribution helps move Pedal Academy closer to a future where cost is less of a barrier to participation.
