Want to learn to ride? Need a place to practice?

We offer classes and beginner rides at several locations for youth and adults.

LEARN TO RIDE AT LLOYD HALL

Whatever your experience or age this class is a positive and encouraging setting to start building your bike riding skills.

You’re welcome to bring a bike in good condition to the class, but if you don’t have one, no problem! You can rent a bike from Wheel Fun, next to Lloyd Hall for an additional cost. See Wheel Fun’s website for pricing.

“I was so excited that I finally learned how to ride my bike again. I guess all I really needed was some confidence and a little bit of practice. I appreciate how supportive everyone was, it really helped to make me feel comfortable.”
