We take the time to get to know your child and make sure they’re introduced to bicycling the very best way possible.
Our programs often have mixed ages to give children the opportunity to ride with other kids their own ability level while developing critical social-emotional learning opportunities.
Buddy Pegs programs are currently for children under 10-years-old. Please read our rating chart below to see where you child will best thrive.
If you’ve listened to our children’s story telling podcasts or read one of our children’s picture books, you know that we love animals who ride bikes. Who doesn’t?
We use “paws” based on our bike loving animal characters to help kids and parents know exactly where each child is in their ability level and where they are heading next.
Our classes & programs teach your children critical life skills beyond the mechanical act of riding a bike. Self-confidence, resilience, and connection to the real world around them are delivered through the power of the bicycle.
Your child’s new found love of bike riding will help connect your family through lifelong biking adventures.

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.
Ages 1-3 years old

Unplugged family time, your child’s first group rides, the start of lifelong family adventure. This is what you’ll experience at a Buddy Pegs Balance Bike Play Date.
To be more specific… these shared learning experiences are run by trained ride leaders who guide children, and their parent or caregiver, through play-based on-the-bike and off-the-bike activities that are guaranteed to make your child twice as excited to ride.
Children need not have previous balance bike skills and balance bikes are available to rent. Sorry, no training wheels allowed. Please see our FAQ’s page for more information.
Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, aunt, or uncle, our trained ride leaders want to help YOU guide your child through the early years on a bike. And have a lot of fun doing it.

Schools out for the day – let’s ride! After school bike club is a chance for kiddos Pre-k-2nd grade who already are independently pedaling to further develop their bicycle skills, safety, and fitness, but it’s much more than that.
After School Bike Club is perfect for kids (5-11) who are rolling along on two wheels, without training wheels, to kids who want to start gaining more confidence and learn mtb skills, and for kiddos who are confidently exploring intermediate+ single track and want to learn more:)
More advanced riders will develop critical mtb skills that will provide them with the confidence they need to excel and be safe little riders.
Choose the appropriate PAW level for your child during registration so we are better prepared with our coaching staff. We can always move kiddos around on the first day if need be!

Teaching your child to ride a bike is one thing, but having them love it is another. Thankfully, Buddy Pegs is here to help you with both! Our early childhood cycling coaches and mountain bike coaches are ready to introduce your little explorers to the wonders of a childhood on two wheels and the tools of lifelong happiness and success that comes from it.
Thanks to the introduction of balance bikes, and high-quality pedal bikes, there has never been a better time to teach kids how to ride. And now that journey begins as early as two years old! You remember how important your bike was for you as a kid. Now it’s time to introduce your child to a love of bicycling, the right way!
LESSON OPTIONS:
LEARN TO PEDAL -These lessons take place in a parking lot environment. We will provide activities, ramps, games, etc that will keep your child engaged and excited to want to ride more:)
INTRO TO MOUNTAIN BIKING -We will start to introduce 2 paw riders to the skills and activities that will start your child’s journey onto dirt! This will start with parking lot skills and then graduate to some easy singletrack riding.

Time to take the next step and learn to JUMP! Do you have a kiddo confidently zipping around trails who can’t stop talking about learning to jump their bike?
We provide a safe and structured environment where your child can stop attempting jumps they aren’t prepared for and start learning the necessary skills to safely get both wheels off the ground.
Varying levels of progression available for all 4 paw and up capabilities.
Riders need to be at least a capable 4 paw rider.
