Kids Love Bikes at Safety City

Bike Walk Knoxville is excited to offer our Kids Love Bikes program at Safety City this summer! Kids Love Bikes is a youth bicycle education program designed to teach youth everything they need to know about bike safety, handling, and maintenance. Join Bike Walk Knoxville for a 3-week, 6 class Kids Love Bikes program. This co-ed class led by certified instructors will cover hand signals and riding position, controlled starting and stopping, bike safety checks, parts and functions of the bike - plus much more! Please be aware, your child must already be able to ride a bicycle without training wheels to be able to participate in this class. 

If your child loves to ride and is ready to learn more about how their bike works and how to ride with control and confidence, this is the program for them!
