Ride Ready: Family Bike Basics

  • Amerson River Park - Playground Parking Lot 2600 Riverview Road Macon, GA 31204 United States (map)

Ready to help your family feel confident riding bikes together?

Join Bike Walk Macon at Amerson River Park for a free Family Ride Ready class designed for kids who already know how to ride a bike and are ready to practice in a safe, real-world environment. The class will begin at the Playground Pavilion parking lot.

Class Details:
Amerson is the perfect classroom - with wide paths, very low traffic roads, and plenty of space to ride at a comfortable pace away from cars.

During this class, families will learn and practice:

  • The ABC Quick Check to make sure bikes are safe before every ride

  • Proper helmet fit and safety, using bike lights

  • Basic road and path safety

  • How to ride predictably and confidently around others

  • Tips for riding together as a family in parks and on neighborhood streets

After learning the basics, participants will take a guided, low-pace ride through the park to put their new skills into action.

This class is free to attend and will be offered on March 21, April 11, and May 16. Each rider will receive a helmet, rechargeable bike lights, and bike safety education materials while supplies last.

This class is not for brand-new riders. Children should already be able to pedal, steer, and stop on their own.

Come ready to ride, learn, and explore Amerson River Park together!
