Includes three 45-minute sessions, bike and helmet rental

Our Learn to Ride program helps young riders make the exciting transition to two wheels with confidence and joy. Designed as a private, one-on-one experience, this program focuses on building balance, coordination, and independence through a patient and proven progression.

We recommend a series of three 45-minute sessions, which allows time for learning, practice, and reflection between lessons. This format gives children the best opportunity to develop lasting skills and comfort on the bike.

Each session is customized to your child’s pace and personality—whether they’re eager and fearless or cautious and methodical. Our goal is to create an encouraging, positive, and fun learning environment where every small success builds toward that first independent ride.

If your child masters pedaling before completing all three sessions, we’ll continue progressing to essential next-step skills like braking, body position, and basic shifting—ensuring you receive the full value of the program.

Our teaching method begins with balance: pedals are removed so riders can first glide and steer with control. Once balance and stability are solid, pedals are reintroduced, and we use supportive, confidence-building techniques to guide the transition to pedaling. From there, it’s all about reinforcing comfort, safety, and a love for riding.

Some riders require more than the initial 3 sessions and that is completely normal! Every child develops at their own pace and there is no “standard.” 

All sessions are held at Rifugio Litchfield Hills and are scheduled privately for your convenience.
