Learning to ride a bike is a thrilling adventure, and the Learn2Ride program has transformed this journey into engaging levels that make it easier for children to understand and enjoy. With a focus on fun and progression, each level brings young riders closer to the joy of riding on two wheels.
“Eleanor had a great experience! This camp gave her the confidence she needed to learn how to ride a bike. A day later she rode her bike around the block with her dad without stopping. Highly recommend Matt and his amazing team! Thanks again!”

Learn2Ride Process
Level 1 – The Flamingo: Balancing Basics In this level, called “The Flamingo,” riders will learn the art of balance. Just like a flamingo, they will lift one foot at a time and sway the bike from side to side. This side-to-side motion introduces a new experience, especially for those who have used training wheels before. Feeling the bike tipping and learning to catch themselves marks the first exciting step toward mastering balance.
Level 2 – The Frog Hop: Forward Momentum Enter “The Frog Hop.” Here, we teach riders to propel themselves forward by hopping with both legs, just like a frog. The more advanced they become in this level, the longer their hops will translate into joyful leaps towards independent riding.
Level 3 – Gliding: Embracing Coasting Level 3 is all about “Gliding.” After a series of Frog Hops, riders lift their feet to experience the thrill of coasting. As they progress, the challenge increases – can they glide confidently for 15 seconds? It’s a skill that brings them closer to the exhilaration of cruising on two wheels.
Level 4 – Find Your Pedals: The Grand Finale Once the first three levels are conquered, it’s time for “Find Your Pedals.” Here, riders are ready to put on their pedals. We’ll recap the journey so far, and then have them Frog Hop, Glide, and, most importantly, “Find Your Pedals.” This is the moment when many children start riding on their own, a triumphant finale to their Learn2Ride adventure.
“Amazing. I am so impressed by you, and the whole process! Watching my son go through that process with you today was so cool! He is SO PROUD of himself, which is the coolest part. Thanks for showing him he could do it! I’d recommend this to ANYONE that needs to learn.”

Absolutely AMAZING!
Coach Matt is GREAT! His encouragement to all students and recognizing their successes throughout was wonderful. He is so patient, and made the process of riding a bike really easy! And now my daughter’s confidence is through the roof. “Mommy, I learned how to ride a bike in ONE HOUR! Thats amazing!” Can’t recommend this program enough.

Grace was a fast learner! She went from timid and shy to FLYING around the playground! Superstar!
Another AMAZING session
Alexander is now a pro on his bike. Coach Matt and Coach Jackson along with all the other helpers were amazing today. They were incredibly patient and encouraging to Alexander and all the kiddos participating. Alexander could not have been more excited to learn how to ride his bike. Afterwards, we went to go buy him his own bike and he rode on our street for over an hour. The smile on his face has said it all. This experience has been nothing but wonderful! I’m so glad I did this for both my boys.

Alexander is a silent warrior! He never gives up!! Loved teaching him this week!
It was like watching MAGIC happen!
This was money well spent! I would do it 1000 times over. Coach Matt is amazing. I couldn’t believe how easy he made it for my boys And all the other kiddos who attended the session. It was so wonderful watching him encourage them and empower them while they learned to ride their bikes. Even more wonderful was watching all the other kiddos cheering each other on as they, too, accomplished this goal. I would’ve loved to say that had my husband and I taught our kids how to ride their bikes. But, there was something that just wasn’t clicking. Today, it clicked. And I couldn’t be happier with the results!

Thank you! Amazing job today!!
We have bike riders
It was amazing to watch the quick progress the coaches made. Our boys were riding bikes within 1 hour after countless hours spent trying on our own. They were excited to go to camp and can’t stop talking about all the places they will ride.
