Learn to Bike Program 2026

Learn to Bike Program 🚲

Our Learn to Bike Program uses the proven Jack of Sports 3-Step Coaching Methodology, designed to help kids build confidence, control, and independence on two wheels. With a 95% success rate for riders ages 4 and up, this program focuses on skill development first—so kids learn to ride safely and confidently, without training wheels.

Our 3-Step Coaching Methodology

1. Balance
2. Glide
3. Pedal

By mastering balance and gliding before pedaling, children progress faster and feel more confident every step of the way.

Balance Bikes That Build Confidence

Kids learn best when their bike fits just right. We provide 12” and 16” balance bikes to ensure every rider can practice gliding, balancing, and control at their own pace—both during lessons and at home.

• 12” Balance Bike: Ages 3–4

• 16” Balance Bike: Ages 5+

A balance bike is provided at the first lesson and is used to develop essential skills before transitioning to a pedal bike.

What Your Child Will Learn

• Gliding and balancing fundamentals

• Smooth transition from balance bike to pedal bike

• Proper braking techniques and controlled stops

• Tight turns through obstacle courses

• Tip-toe starts and stationary starts

• Bike handling, confidence, and control

Our coaches will notify parents when it’s time to bring a two-wheel bike (no training wheels). Parents should ensure the seat is set so the balls or heels of the child’s feet can touch the ground.
