If you or someone you know doesn't know how to ride a bicycle... we can help! The Bicycle Riding School specializes in teaching adults to ride bicycles, most of whom never learned as children. We organize group and individual lessons and also teach through the Cambridge Center for Adult Education and Arlington Community Education. While some of our students are happy to do their biking on bicycle paths, many of our students go on to become serious riders, who get around by bike. For those wanting help making the transition to roads, we offer street riding lessons. (See below.) In the last 25 years, we have taught about 2,000 people with only about a handful people who weren't able to make it work. Virtually everyone who really puts their mind to it, and gives it the time it needs, can learn to ride a bicycle. One of our students has only one leg and did very well. Our oldest students are in their 80's, our youngest was three. |

Everyone has their own reasons for not riding sooner in life, (except our very young students,) but everyone is glad to get past whatever it was that had been holding them back from riding. The two teachers at the school are Susan McLucas and Pata Suyemoto. Susan has been teaching riding since the mid 80's, and has taught about 2,000 people. Pata has taught with us since 2007 and teaches our road riding and long-distance riding lessons. Individual lessons are $20-$40 a lesson, your choice. and are an hour and a half. Group lessons through us are $15-$30 a lesson, your choice. Call the Bicycle Riding School and sign up today! We have helmets, knee and elbow pads, gloves and a time-tested method which allows most people to learn without ever falling at all. |

We're close to Linear Park, which connects to the Minuteman Bike Path. If you don't ride a bike, it'll only get harder the longer you wait. If a friend of yours doesn't ride, you can get them a gift certificate or just have them call us. We'll probably be able to convince them that they'd like to learn. But they're the one that has to want to do it. Street Riding: We also teach individual and small group lessons in negotiating traffic. Pata does most of these classes. She is a League Cycling Instructor (LCI) with the League of American Bicyclists. Contact us! |
