I tried to teach my child to ride a bike, I swear. I really tried. But my patience was wearing thin and my legs were tired. Enter Bike Fun, which feels like a magical discovery. Bike Fun is a nonprofit that teaches anyone how to ride a bike. Haven’t been on a bike for 30 years? Have a kid who hasn’t ever ridden without training wheels? There’s no judgment. You’ll be met with encouraging instructors who want to spread their love of riding bikes. No need to be self-conscious, as everyone starts with the same basics — getting on and off the bike, learning how the brakes work, practicing your balance. Individual and group lessons are available, and they also host occasional all-ages learn-to-ride classes, as well as community rides. Volunteer opportunities also exist.
