Classes taught by NYC Parks and Recreation Department staff, in a method proven by Bike New York.

Come out and enjoy the spring weather. Bring your child, a bike, and a helmet for this free, fun event, and be amazed at how easily your child learns how to ride a 2-wheeler. Learn an easy, crash free method to teach kids of any age how to ride, and start your child out in one of the healthiest and most fun ways to get around.
