CLASSES
LEARN TO RIDE
Learn to Ride-Kids
Is your child at that age where he or she wants to ride a two-wheeler? If so, this class is for you.
This class teaches a safe, easy, effective way to learn to ride. Using this “balance first” method, our facilitators help get their children rolling while the child does most of the work. Participants learn the basics of balancing, starting, stopping, and steering a bike, as well as proper helmet fit and adjustment. Most people learn to ride their bike while taking the class, but even if they don’t, they will leave with an easy, hands-free, crash-free, and low-stress way to learn to ride.
Learn to Ride-Adults
This is the same course as the Learn to Ride-Kids, but has been tailored for adults.
Ride Rodeo Workshop
This workshop takes those who have demonstrated that they can ride their bikes and enhances their skill levels to be able to ride on the streets. Adults and kids together learn how to scan for traffic behind them, maneuver through an obstacle course, and signal their intentions to drivers and fellow riders.
STREET SAVVY CYCLIST
A Family Friendly Ride
Bike&Walk Montclair’s goal is more bikes and feet on every street. We start by showing you how to be visible, predictable, and courteous to motorists, pedestrians and other cyclists. You’ll see a short video about road safety and a “Kids Eye View” of the road. We’ll take you through the proper way to enter and progress through intersections. Most importantly, we all go out on a short ride through the streets of Montclair. We encourage families to take the class together. Learn the safe way to be smart cyclists, individually and as a group. Once the class is over, we will help you find a group ride for your skill set and schedule.
