Learn to ride a bike or just refresh your memory

If you are one of those folks who never had the chance to learn to ride a bicycle, it's never to late to learn.

With guidance and patience, our trainer will have you riding with confidence in no time!

Just think of all that you can see and enjoy on your bicycle.

The trails you can blaze.....!

Image you're on holiday at an area resort or hotel, and you see cyclists riding by you, enjoying the beautiful weather, and you think "what a great idea, wish I knew how to ride a bike".

Well, guess what? You can!

Take a couple of hours, call and reserve a time and learn to ride!

Bicycle riding lessons can be done with your bike or ours.

Sometimes you don't realize just how long it's been since you were on a bike. We can help you refresh your memory with a quick lesson on safety and a trial run around our site...on the house when you rent our bike.

Bicycle Safety Tips

It's fun to learn to ride your bicycle!

Peter will teach you all the bicycle safety tips you will need to know before you ride your bike on roads, paths and trails and how to stay safe.

You can't always control what a vehicle driver will do or not do, but you can sure control that you use all the safety rules of the road correctly and at all times. With Peter learning those rules can be a lot of fun whether you are a child or just young at heart.

Born to Ride Bicycle supplies you with the right bike, proper helmet and even elbow and knee pads for your bicycle riding lesson.

You supply the enthusiasm and energy!

You know it takes a bit of energy to ride a bike? Especially on the roadways and trails of Simcoe County...but, don't fret!

We will work with you slowly but challenge you to stretch your stamina until you shout "WOW...what a ride!"
Bicycle Safety Tips

Peter Says
You must learn good cycling habits and all the rules of the road.

Don't even attempt to ride on the road until you are well balanced and know how to operate your bike.

Pick a safe, no vehicle traffic area to practice (if child, with an adult to guide you).

Always wear a bicycle helmet and make sure it is the right fit for you.

To avoid scrapes and scratches, wear elbow and knee pads (optional).

Make sure your bicycle is well equiped with lights and reflectors, bell or horn and well tuned brakes and gears.

Your bike should be a proper fit for you. Too large, and you risk getting hurt when you loose your balance. Too small, and you will work your leg muscles too hard. Many bicycle shops will work with your child and let you trade up as your child grows (ask their policy on this).

Learn some basic bicycle repairs and always have a Bicycle Repair Kit with you when you are travelling.

Water bottle and cage are highly recommended for any trip.

These tips may seem common sense, but you would be suprised how many cyclist don't have much sense!
