About the Class
The League Cycling Instructors (LCIs) take students through a progressive curriculum, with the goal of riding with two pedals by the end of the session. WABA’s Youth Learn to Ride class breaks learning how to ride a bike down into 3 steps:
- Gliding
- Pedaling
- Riding
This class is right for your child if your child has never tried to learn how to ride a bike or if they have tried to learn and have not been successful.
