🍂 Fall Learn to Ride classes are kicking off soon, and we still have space available! If your little one loves bikes, but aren't quite ready for the Nanaimo BMX track or Stevie Smith Bike Park yet, these programs are for them.
Whether they are brand new to two wheels or looking to build the confidence to ride safely, we have a level that fits. All classes are indoors in the Centennial Building at Beban Park, with the last 2 classes taking place at the Stevie Smith Bike Park.
Level 1: Balance Bike Skills (Ages 2–5)
Learn to ride. We focus on comfort, proper helmet fit, and mastering the basics like balancing, stopping, and gliding.
Tue, Sep 29–Nov 10 | 1:30–2:30 PM
Level 2: Pedal Power Development (Ages 3–6)
For kids ready to build confidence with pedaling, steering, and braking. We'll introduce foundational bike park skills like front wheel control and pumping over small features.

Level 3: Pedal Power Progression (Ages 7–12)
