Ride With Confidence

PEDALPOWER KIDS

EVERY KID ON A BIKE!

We provide high-quality, individualized and fun bicycle skills and safety instruction for children of all ages and abilities. We believe that bikes make life better, and that every kid should be able to ride confidently and safely.

Learning to ride a bike should be a positive experience for a child, and our professional instruction ensures the learning process is quick and engaging, and lays the foundation for a lifetime of family fun, independence and exploration through bike riding. In addition to our signature Learn to Ride group programs and camps in Anne Arundel County, Washington DC and Baltimore, PedalPower Kids offers summer adventure camps, bike clubs, private lessons, preschool and school-aged enrichment programs, school bike safety programs, neighborhood safety clinics and bike rodeos.

We’re proud to be an active part of the Annapolis/Anne Arundel County community, giving back through bike advocacy and volunteer efforts like Bike to School Day and free Bike Safety Rodeos.

  • This week’s Why Wednesday: "Why We Ride with a Coach in the Front, Middle, and Back"

The coach in the front sets the pace, watches for oncoming cars, bikers, and pedestrians, and signals when the group needs to slow or stop.

The coach in the middle keeps the group connected, making sure riders don’t get too spread out and stepping in quickly if someone needs help or takes a fall.

The coach in the back makes sure no rider is left behind, supports the last riders in the group, and helps manage safe street crossings by moving up to check crosswalks when needed.

This structure allows kids to ride confidently, stay together, and focus on enjoying the experience, while we make sure every rider gets where they’re going safely.
  • Google can show you a place, but it can’t show you the memories.

The ride there with your friends, pulling up to a favorite local spot, laughing over snacks, cooling off after a long ride, the feeling of being out all day, those are the moments that never show up online.

Let’s make some memories this summer!
  • It’s the perfect day to get outside and ride ☀️
  • This week’s #WhyWednesday: “Why the Neon Camp Tshirts?”

“We saw your campers coming like a swarm of bees” If you spend time near the B&A Trail or in Tenleytown in the summer, chances are you’ve noticed our pack of bike riders in matching safety green PedalPower Kids tees. That color choice is not only fun and happy- but VERY intentional.

Safety Green is one of the most visible colors to the human eye, especially in daylight. For drivers, it stands out quickly against roads, sidewalks, and natural backgrounds, helping riders be seen sooner and more clearly. That extra visibility adds an important layer of safety.

We use this as an opportunity to teach riders and families a bigger lesson: being seen is just as important as being skilled.

That’s why we also emphasize:
- Wearing reflective or high-visibility clothing when riding
- Using bike lights, even during the day
- Considering small details like helmet lights to increase visibility from all angles

Building safe habits early helps riders feel more confident and prepared every time they get on their bike.
  • Late spring riding is here and it’s filling fast!
