Learn to Ride Classes
This FREE two-hour, hands-on course teaches (or re-teaches) adults the basics of how to ride a bike. Bicycle Coalition staff lead participants through pedaling, balancing, turning, and the general confidence needed to successfully ride. This class is open to anyone who has never ridden a bike or simply needs a refresher.
Registration is required and spaces are limited.
Virtual Learn to Ride Q&A
Unable to attend an in-person Learn to Ride?
Don't worry, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia has developed and produced a video version of the class, which teaches you how to ride a bicycle in six easy steps from the comfort of your home. This video will go over how to set up your Indego bike, getting your balance, practice pedaling, stopping and turning, and much more.
The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia offers these short 30 - 40 minute Q&A sessions about the Learn to Ride video. Knowledgeable instructors are available to chat through Zoom and answer any questions you have about the content of the video or bicycling in general.
