Ready To Learn To Ride A Bicycle?

Bicycle Colorado offers fun and effective Learn to Ride lessons for youth and adults. We use the proven gliding technique, which has most students pedaling within two hours. Whether you’re 8 or 80, Bicycle Colorado’s Learn to Ride lessons are a great way to learn to ride a bike!

"Awesome, helpful instructors who really took the time to watch everyone and give personal attention. The environment was so supportive and friendly!"

"The class really helped me re-gain my balance. I’d learned to ride as a child, but after 25 years of not owning or riding a bike, I was very unstable and uncomfortable when I first tried again. The class gave me the skills and confidence to get back out there without making me feel silly."

"The instructors were absolutely amazing. These professionals had my son zooming around in under an hour (after my own attempts at teaching him how to ride a bike had failed him). It was life-changing! I .was really ready to give up and just label my 9-year-old son as a scooter rider forever."

How Learning Works

Additional Details

All participants will sign waivers at the beginning of the lesson. Participants under 18 will need a parent/guardian present at the start of the lesson to sign for them.
Bikes and helmets are available to borrow or feel free to bring your own
The lesson will be held rain or shine, so please be sure to dress for the weather. Only due to severe weather conditions will a lesson be canceled.
We suggest wearing comfortable, active clothing with layers and close-toed shoes.
Please plan to bring your own water and sunscreen.
At youth lessons, adults can either stay to watch their children or return at the end of the lesson. We ask those who choose to stay to remain off of the course.
Youth lessons are designed for kiddos aged 5 to 15. In our experience, for many children under 5, they don’t quite have the balance required to move from gliding to pedaling. We would suggest letting them learn to glide on a Strider or a bike with the pedals removed as the best way to build balance.

Refund Policy

Please contact us at least 48 hours prior to the canceled lesson in order for us to refund your full payment. If a cancellation is made within 48 hours of the lesson, we will reimburse half the cost, and rescheduling will require an additional registration fee.
