Pedal Power
Powered by Alfie Logo Gear
Pedal Power puts the finishing touches on the skills and knowledge riders need to move onto Adventure Bike Club, Summer Bike Camp, and Norte’s Youth Mountain Bike Club.
Pedal Power is available for our youngest riders thanks to our title sponsor, Alfie Logo Gear.
Pedal Power: Beginner
Days: Tuesdays and Thursdays
Dates: May 6, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22 2025
Times: 4:15-4:45pm
Cost: $75
Ages: recommended for 5 and 6 year olds
Abilities: Pedal Power: Beginner was created for children who have mastered the balance bike, but haven’t yet had success transitioning to a two wheeled pedal bike. Similar to a semi-private lesson, our beginners will learn through a combination of adult-supported individualized practice and small group practice with a coach. This group is best suited for children who are perhaps using their pedal bike like a balance bike and taking big steps to power “coasting” rather than using their pedals.
Pedal Power: Let’s Roll!
Days: Tuesdays and Thursdays
Dates: May 6, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22 2025
Times: 5:00-5:30pm
Cost: $75
Ages: recommended for 5 and 6 year olds
Abilities: Our “Let’s Roll!” group is the best fit for riders who are needing some basic support to get moving confidently on their two wheeled bikes. This could include riders who are needing a “boost” to get started pedaling, needing reminders about safe stopping, basic navigation, and skills that can be taught then practiced semi-independently. Riders who best fit into the “Let’s Roll” category can coast in the same way they would use their balance bike but on their pedal bike, resulting in several sustained seconds of balanced biking with control. Our Let’s Roll group is most successful when the participants are eager and engaged riders who have the stamina (both physically and mentally) to practice skills using large portions of the one mile Civic Center loop.
Do you have a 5-6 year old who just moved up from a balance bike or training wheels, but isn’t quite confident enough for longer rides? Don’t worry! Pedal Power is perfect for the bike skills your rider needs to thrive on two wheels!
Spring 2025 sessions will run Tuesdays and Thursdays from May 6 through May 22 at the Norte Clubhouse!
