Buddy Pegs Bike Clubs are the ultimate after-school adventure for young riders in grades K-4. Whether your child is still working to gain their bike-confidence or ready to learn new skills, our club offers the perfect opportunity for them to take their biking journey to the next level.
Buddy Pegs Bike Clubs are an exciting and inclusive community where young riders can thrive. We work hard to instill in our riders the Buddy Pegs STOKE values—Stewardship, Trust/Teamwork, Ownership, Kindness, and Empathy. These values, rooted in the wisdom of the CASEL Social Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies, not only shape our young riders into mighty mountain bikers but also into noble stewards of the land and caring team mates.
During registration, we ask you to choose the appropriate PAW level for your child so that we can provide the best coaching staff and support. Don’t worry if you’re unsure; we can always make adjustments on the first day to ensure the perfect fit for your child.
Together, we’ll help your kids develop a love of outdoor adventure on two wheels and help your family create memories that will last a lifetime. Let the adventure begin!

Few of life’s milestones are as memorable as learning to ride a bike. But all too often the process to get there is full of anxiety, unnecessary struggle, and tears.
But not at Buddy Pegs! Here, children love every stage of learning to ride thanks to our incredible Buddy Pegs certified coaches who weave our unique Learn To Pedal curriculum into play-based challenges and games.
Over these sessions, students first learn the fundamentals of balancing a bike without pedals and without training wheels thanks to our no-pedal glide method of teaching that helps develop the muscle memory and confidence needed to pedal independently.

“Time in nature is not leisure time; it’s an essential investment in our children’s health
(and also, by the way, in our own).”
― Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder
“Adventure is embracing the unknown and venturing into it with a good knowledge of our skills, as well as the experiences we are lacking, so that we can take appropriate risks. If we embrace adventure as parents, we push the limits on what is possible with children and break free of social norms for the purpose of teaching them the realities of life in an unconventional way.”
-Meghan J. Ward of adventurousparents.com
