Learn to Ride a Bike
Report
It all started with a request from a neighor in 2006. Since then I have taught over 200 kids and 8 adults how to ride a bike. The day you learn how to ride is an important one and I always love being a part of that. I generally get the hard cases and at times spend as much energy helping the rider get comfortable with wanting to ride, as I do with actually teaching them how to ride.

Zev K, Age 12: This upcoming summer will be my fifth at Mt Tam Bikes Camp. I started going to camp when I was 8 years old and a beginner biker. It was the first time I ever went biking on the mountain. Because of Mt Tam Bikes Camp I now love mountain biking and riding on the mountain every week. During camp, we ride on different trails every day of the week.
