Pelham Bay Park

The Parks Department and Bike New York are proud to present Learn to Ride classes for adults and children. In these free classes, we’ll teach people of all ages the fundamentals of bicycling, preparing them for years of safe and confident riding.

This class (formerly known as Teach Your Child to Ride a Bike) teaches a safe, easy, effective way to learn to ride. Using this “balance first” method, parents 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. 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.
