Learn to Ride

Two Ways to Learn:

  1. Private Lessons – One-on-one coaching, fully customized

What Parents are Saying

  • The instructors were encouraging and fun. Took all the pressure off of learning how to ride a bike and made it easy. My son had been intimidated to ride a bike but with the class he learned in an hour!

    -Chelsy N. (Parent of 7 yr old)

  • The class was very organized! The three stations with milestones helped the kids know what the expectations were and gave them a goal to work towards. It was also a great way to let each kid work at their own pace. The instructors gave constant positive feedback and encouragement to the kids.

    -Lauren S. (Parent of 4 & 6 yr old)

  • Everything!! Mark was so responsive and helpful in all communications, and he is a terrific coach and teacher. My daughter was nervous going into the session, but Mark put her at ease immediately. By the end of the hour he she was riding her bike, and most importantly - she felt confident and was having so much fun! She didn't want to stop. I am so thrilled that we found Mark and Bike Freedom Academy!
