AGAIN! Bike&Walk Montclair & Diamond Cycle will Hold LEARN TO RIDE Classes This Weekend and Next Weekend
After a first successful LEARN TO RIDE class that was held on Saturday, July 24, Bike&Walk Montclair, Diamond Cycle, and the Montclair YMCA are partnering once again and will hold two more LEARN TO RIDE classes on July 31, 2010 and August 7, 2010.
The workshop teaches a safe, easy, effective way to learn to ride. Using the “balance first” method, instructors help get you rolling on your own.
Is your child at that age where he or she wants to ride a two-wheeler? Is your back sore from bending over to balance your child on a rolling bicycle? Have YOU been wanting to ride but never had a chance to learn? If so, this class is for you.
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.
