Bring your own bike or we will have bikes for riders of all ages to use! Please arrive 15 minutes early for check in and the event will be held in the parking lot at Worthdale Community Center. In case of inclement weather a rain date is set for June 8th, 2024.
This event is held in partnership with Oaks and Spokes, a Raleigh based nonprofit dedicated to safer road users and streets. Using the balance bike method, volunteers assist learners with gaining a sense of balance and control on a bicycle. A balance bike is any bike with the pedals removed, which allows the rider to steady themselves using their feet. Learners of all ages are welcome, and extra bikes in all sizes will be available to use. Oaks and Spokes will also provide extra helmets that participants can take home. Or riders are welcome to bring their own helmet and bike.
Oak and Spokes will have a bike mechanic on site for basic bike repairs, including inflating tires and adjusting brakes. Participants will be paired with a volunteer who will help teach them how to balance and propel themselves forward using their feet in a closed parking lot. More skilled riders can practice their braking and turning skills in a small obstacle course made of cones. Please bring a refillable water bottle, and wear closed toed shoes.
