Eastern Queens is one of the best places to bike in New York City! If you want to explore our miles of new protected bike lanes and splendid parks with your family, but you need some help to get everyone rolling, here are some upcoming classes that can help you kick off this spring!

If your kids have outgrown their training wheels, but you’re not sure how to teach them to ride, sign them up for one of Bike New York‘s free Learn to Ride-Kids classes! These group class teach kids how to balance, pedal, start, stop, and steer a bicycle.
