BIKE SCHOOL PARTERS
BALANCE BIKE PROGRAM
Introducing the Velo Kids Balance Bike Program, perfect for our youngest riders in pre-k, kindergarten, and 1st grade. Utilizing our fleet of pedal-free balance bikes, helmets, and a specialized 'learn to bike' curriculum, we give children the foundational skills needed to ride a bicycle and become lifelong movers. This new program is designed to empower students with the competence and confidence to move their bodies in various ways and environments, fostering physical literacy from an early age. Join us in nurturing a generation of confident, active kids ready to explore the world on two wheels!
HOW IT WORKS
Our balance bike programs are designed for up to 26 kids aged Pre-K to 1st Grade. These programs are available during school hours, after school, or during the summer and only need a paved area, think basketball court, or indoor gymnasium. No equipment necessary as we bring the bikes, the course, curriculum, coaches, and all the fun & enthusiasm the kids need to get on bikes!
