Learn to Ride a Bike – Bicycle Lessons for Adults

Lessons for Beginner & Returning Cyclists

Yes! You can learn to ride a bicycle now! Our coaches thoroughly enjoy working with adults who are getting on the bike for the first time ever or the first time in a long time. A one-on-one bike lesson provides a safe and comfortable place to start or re-start.

What You Need for Lessons

Any kind of bike is welcome as long as it is safe and in good condition. You’ll need comfortable clothing, a helmet, and sturdy shoes. Don’t have a bike? Depending on your area, we may be able to connect you with a bike rental. Not sure about what you need but ready to buy a bike?

“I no longer have a fear of cars, or stopping at a stop light, or riding on the road.  I want Wenzel Coaching to know how thankful I am that they have a resource people can go to, that will match them up with fantastic people who are making a difference in people’s lives, helping them to become better athletes, and helping them get closer to their goals and dreams.” ~Katrina D.
