There’s nothing like this moment at our end-of-week Learn to Ride parade. The kids are pedaling with confidence, riding independently, showing off the skills they’ve worked so hard to build — and on the sidelines, you can see it all over the parents’ faces. Pride. Relief. Joy. A little disbelief at how far their rider has come in just one week. We love teaching kids to ride. But we really love watching families witness that “I did it” moment. See it for yourself this summer. Sign up for camp and watch your rider cross that finish line with a smile you’ll never forget. Link in bio.

This week’s #WhyWednesday: “Why Does It Matter Who Is Teaching Your Child to Ride?” Learning to ride isn’t just about balance and pedals. It’s about trust. When kids feel safe with the adults leading them — when they feel seen, encouraged, and held to high expectations in a supportive environment — everything changes. Confidence grows. Fear shrinks. And suddenly, something that once felt impossible becomes achievable. That’s why at PedalPower Kids, we are intentional about who steps onto the pavement. We go to great lengths to attract, train, and retain coaches who are caring, enthusiastic, empathetic, and motivating. Our team understands that how we teach is just as important as what we teach. Interested in being part of that impact? We’re always looking for the right leaders to join our team. Apply with link in bio.

Our Early Spring Session kicks off the week of March 9 and runs through April 13, giving families an extended season and built-in flexibility around spring break. That means more riding, more progress, and more confidence heading into summer. From first glides in Learn to Ride and Minis to advancing skills in Bike Club Level 2, we have options for riders at every stage. With weekday and Saturday classes available — and easy make-up scheduling — it’s designed to fit real family schedules. If spring riding is on your mind, now’s the time to grab your spot!

At school, bike safety becomes more than a lesson —it becomes a life skill. Through PE classes and after-school programs, students learn how to ride with awareness, confidence, and independence, while building skills that support safe and healthy transportation to school and everyday riding. PedalPower Kids is delivering Bicycle & Pedestrian safety programs like this one at Benfield Elementary School in Severna Park in several Anne Arundel County Elementary Schools, thanks to grant funding through Maryland Highway Safety Office.
