Join us every May as we pedal our way into a month-long celebration of biking, community engagement, and the transformative power of active transportation. National Bike Month isn't just about riding—it's about coming together to embrace the joy of biking and its positive impact on our communities.
Learn-to-Ride Class: Adults and Teens
The Learn-to-Ride class for adults is for older teens and adults who have never learned to ride a bicycle or have not been on a bike in a long time. A parent must be present throughout the class if a participant is a minor (under 19 years old).
With our safe, easy, and efficient curriculum, participants will gain the confidence to master fundamental bike riding skills.
In this class, you'll learn:
- Basic bike riding skills, including starting, stopping, steering, and balancing
- Safe cycling practices
- How to adjust a bike helmet for appropriate fit
- How to use the Bikeshare system and about the overall benefits of cycling for health, fitness, and transportation
Bikes and helmets are provided for all participants.
Most participants will leave knowing how to ride a bike without support; if not, they'll leave equipped to keep learning independently.
This class is a part the Nebraska Equity in Active Transportation (NEAT) initiative which is funded by the Omaha Community Foundation.
The Impact of Getting Involved
National Bike Month is more than just a series of events—it's a movement.
Events are the most accessible form of advocacy and community engagement. Bike-friendly events, such as National Bike Month celebrations, have been shown to lead to policy and environmental changes within communities.
