Youth Biking Programs

Summer

balance buddies

2-5 Yr Olds

Velo Kids and Zeeland Rec are teaming up to bring you Balance Buddies — a fun-filled program where little riders can stride, scoot, and build confidence on balance bikes. We’ll play games, be silly, hear stories, learn new skills, and most importantly… have FUN on BIKES! No need to bring your own — balance bikes and helmets will be provided through the Velo Kids Bike Library for your little ripper to borrow each session. Participants should bring their own helmet (or can be borrowed on site), closed toe shoes and a water bottle. Program notes: Although this isn’t a parent-child program, a guardian should stay on-site and in the area during the program. Only balance bikes will be used at this program (no pedal bikes).

pedal pals - learn to bike

2-6 Yr Olds

New to two wheels — or so close you can taste the freedom of riding solo? Come hang out with us at Pedal Pals – Learn to Bike! Velo Kids and Zeeland Rec are teaming up to give young riders a fun, supportive place to practice and learn to bike. We’ll meet on Tuesdays this summer to play games, be silly, hear stories, and — of course — have FUN on BIKES! We’ll work on balance, safe starts and stops, and building confidence on pedal bikes. This class is for riders who are ready to learn biking on 2 wheels. No need to bring your own — bikes and helmets will be provided through the Velo Kids Bike Library for your little ripper to borrow each session. Participants should bring their own helmet (or can be borrowed on site) and closed toe shoes. Although this isn’t a parent-child program, a guardian should stay on-site and in the area during the program.
