Walk-Glide-Ride
For families with kids not physically mature enough to balance PedalYard® offers its unique Pedal Porch, a safe family play space complete with bicycle rockers, games, and toys, and different types of fun activities for parents and kids to do together until kids are mature enough to ride.
For teens and adults or coaches are there to guide you through the process and help you through the rough edges both physically and mentally. The end result is learning to ride a bike for the first time in under an hour
As we said, there are lifelong benefits to learning good balance at an early age by learning to ride a bike before the age of 6.
This skill can aid in athletic development and growth not only throughout childhood and adolescence. But lifelong balance skills are essential for falls prevention in older adults. Furthermore, those who develop good balancing skills early on tend to have better posture and less risk of developing musculoskeletal problems later in life.
Ultimately, learning to ride a bike before the age of 6 can provide a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond the playground. We touched on the benefits of early bike riding above, but there are countless more.
Early childhood, particularly the first 5 years of life, impacts long-term social, cognitive, emotional, and physical development. Healthy development in early childhood helps prepare children for the educational experiences of Kindergarten and beyond.
Smart investments in the physical, cognitive, linguistic, and socio-emotional development of young children – from before birth until they transition to primary school – are critical to put them on the path to greater prosperity, and to help their countries be more productive and compete more successfully in a rapid changing global economy.
Healthy development in the early years (particularly birth to three) provides the building blocks for educational achievement, economic productivity, responsible citizenship, lifelong health, strong communities, and successful parenting of the next generation.
The PedalYard® Philosophy is based on the simple fact that the earlier a child learns to ride and balance on a two-wheel bicycle, the greater the benefits.
Scientific research has shown that there are incredible lifelong benefits to early childhood bike riding. These benefits include increased feeling of accomplishment, self-confidence, coordination and physical fitness. Bike riding is a great way for kids to explore their world and learn about nature. Additionally, riding a bike helps children learn how to follow rules and directions.

What client says about us
When looking for a unique and different idea for my son’s birthday party we came across PedalYard. Susan and Marc were incredible, they answered all of my questions and helped up get everything together in a short amount of time. Their staff was professional and catered to each child. Every parent felt it was the best birthday party they had been to.
Fantastic experience!
I tried for 2 years to teach my daughter to ride a bike. But hadn’t realized I was transferring my fear of her falling, onto her. The coaches encouraged me to allow HER innate ability to balance on the bike, be controlled by her and not me. 30 minutes later she was riding one two wheels, all by herself!
Marc and his team (including wife Susan) are great at what they do: Teaching parents to teach their kids how to ride a bike.
A very unique, family-oriented bonding experience.
WOW!!! Went there with my two kids, 7 and 3 years old. My 7 was riding alone the second day! More than that, the atmosfere that Marc create is something amaizing to say the least! The connection with my kids that came in the time spent at Pedal Yard is a great memory that will stay with me forever!
Took my daughter to the North Miami location. She had never rode a balance bike before. She had a great time! The staff was very patient and helpful. They also understood the attention span of a 3 year old was not going to be very long in one place and had many other activities she could enjoy. Now she wants a bike! Highly recommended.
Great program. Helpful for our daughter to start riding!
Marc was a fantastic teacher. We are glad we went and learned a lot. Great for kids learning to ride and parents to learn also!

This is true whether we come to your home, whether you come to one of our PedalYard® Fun Centers or you book a unique PedalYard® birthday party or other special event.
Many of us have kids ourselves so we know how frustrating it can be to teach them new things, especially how to balance on a bicycle for the first time.
We provide the basic foundation where both the child and adult can together. Our proprietary system makes it safe, easy and effective, while offering a proven step-by-step process that first teaches how to walk and glide before they ride.
The PedalYard® Experience is indeed a family affair.
A parent or grandparent is not only encouraged to attend each lesson, but is normally required to do so. That is because the PedalYard® Learn-To-Ride Method is co-dependent on this “team coaching system”.
With our instructor’s easy to follow step-by-step process, we provide all the the groundwork in order to ensure, above all, a safe as well as fun and ultimately effective approach for learning how to ride a bicycle. Then, once these tools have been taught, the child and family member may then proceed at your own pace.
