Our Learn to Ride classes at Lloyd Hall are for anyone 18 and older who want to learn how to ride a bike. Some people have had some experience riding a bike as a child, others have never been on a bike. 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.

Located at W Hunting Park Drive & W Cayuga Street in beautiful Hunting Park, the Lil’ Philly Safety Village is a space for kids and adults alike to practice biking, rolling, and walking in a colorful, playful area completely free of motor vehicle traffic. The miniature bike lanes, crosswalks, stop signs, and other traffic markers help children ages 12 and under learn to move safely through urban street space.

The Bike Hub at the Lil’ Philly Safety Village is open anytime Hunting Park is open.
