Moving into July, our campers had a blast this week despite the heat wave!

Trying to ditch the training wheels this summer, but missed camp sign ups and home practice isn’t working? You are in luck!🍀 We added an afternoon Learn to Ride camp late for next week, July 6th, at Kinder Farm Park in Millersville. Even better- the forecast looks lovely, with highs in the low 80’s! We still have lots of spots available- join Coach Brendan for what will surely be your child’s favorite week all summer!

Week three has wrapped up- we thought it couldn’t get any more fun (spoiler alert: it did!)

Happy Father’s Day- from our dads to yours!

Pedaling forward, honoring history. Today we celebrate Juneteenth, marking the day in 1865 when freedom finally reached enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. At Pedal Power kids, we often talk about the bike as a tool for freedom. Today, we want to honor a pioneer who rode that freedom straight to the top: Marshall “Major” Taylor. Born just 13 years after the abolition of slavery, Major Taylor became America’s first Black world champion athlete in 1899. He didn’t just race against the clock; he raced against intense racial terror, track bans, and open hostility, winning despite it. Juneteenth is a day to reflect on the long road to freedom, celebrate Black joy, and recognize that the ride toward true equity continues- a sentiment that PPK hopes to embody not only on this day but throughout the year.
