GETTING STARTED WITH KW CYCLING ACADEMY

IT’S EASIER THAN YOU THINK!

When parents think of sports for their families, they typically think of baseball, soccer, and hockey. However, almost everyone owns a bike….and yet it is one of the last things parents think of: bike riding as a sport.​ KW Cycling starts the kids at 5 years old... on strider bikes - Parking lot Skills.

For those that do not know or never considered cycling as a sport, getting involved for the first time can be a little overwhelming. The KW Cycling Academy will try to walk you through the process and answer the question: “What do I do now?” Typically, getting involved starts with whatever bike you have now. For the winter sessions, a select few bikes are available for riders to try.

What are the first steps?

Connect with us. We will let you know the coming programs for the week and work with you to assess the skill level of your youth. We will ask about your child’s interests perhaps between mountain biking, road riding, or track cycling. To get started, any bike will do. Much beyond a bike, a good helmet is required. No need to spend money on a new bike, until the time and interest warrants it. We will assist in selecting a new bike when and if the time comes. We want to make sure your youth enjoys their activities. Cycling is an endurance sport, and we want to make sure your youth both the ability and interest. Riding bikes has to be fun.

Take your time:  Between parking lots skills & drills sessions and intro mountain bike rides, we have a summer program for your child. We have organized rides 6 days a week... Pick and choose the programs that fits your families schedule. Our Team Calendar has all up coming Programs!

Above all, ask as many questions as you can. 519 897-1447 for up to date information. Instagram is also an excellent source of information!
