Dallas Bike School is here to teach people how to ride a bicycle, simple as that. Our founder, Stewart Ball, has directed summer bike camps for kids for sixteen years. We have taught thousands of children and adults how to ride a bike. Our summer camps at the Hockaday School sold out completely in 2021.
We offer instruction in the basics of riding a bike, as well as more advanced instruction in bike handling and riding on Dallas' local bike trails. We also offer fun and fitness group rides.
We have small group classes as well as private instruction for one or more. Sessions run anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour, depending upon the student's age and the level of instruction. (Sometimes hot or cold weather will also affect the duration of the lesson.)
We offer lessons for adults and children.
Typically, a child should be at least 4 years old for bike lessons.
Yes, we have older children, teens, and adults of a wide range of ages attend our bike lessons.
It's more convenient for you to have your own bike, but you do not need to own a bike to take lessons. Through Bike Mart, we can help you arrange to rent or borrow a bike.
Yes, we work with Bike Mart to help you make the right choice for you.
Usually, 3 to 4 lessons. Our goal is for a person to be able to ride safely and confidently on our local bike trails.
Most of the time, if a person is willing to learn, it isn't difficult. There is some exertion involved and it will feel like light exercise. We teach in a way that eliminates the risk of falls, provided instructions are followed.
Pads are not recommended.
Yes!
Usually four.
We offer lessons at several of the Bike Mart stores in the DFW area. Check here for the schedule.
“Really friendly, patient, and supportive staff. And weather-smart, too! They kept me from getting heat stroke by insisting on lots of hydration and at least two breaks.”
