Small Classes. More Support. Real Progress.
Atlanta Bicycle Classes offers beginner-friendly small group instruction for children and adults who are either:
1. Still learning to balance and pedal, or
2. Already pedaling and ready to become more confident riders.
Classes are limited to 5 riders maximum per instructor, allowing students to receive personalized guidance while also benefiting from the encouragement and energy of learning with others.
Classes are taught by Coach Shakeesha, a Certified Bike Instructor with 10 years of experience teaching true beginners, nervous riders, relearners, children, adults, and students who benefit from patient, step-by-step instruction.

TRACK 1: Balance & Glide — True Beginners
For riders who are not yet pedaling independently.
You do not need to know how to pedal before coming to class.
We work on:
* Getting comfortable on the bike
* Balance and body awareness
* Scooting and gliding
* Braking and stopping
* Steering and control
* Starting with the power pedal
* Transitioning toward independent pedaling
* Building confidence at your own pace
Some students may begin pedaling during class, while others may need additional practice.
There is no pressure to learn at the same speed as anyone else.
Learning to ride is not a race.

TRACK 2: Pedal & Practice — New Riders
For riders who can already balance and pedal independently but need more practice.
Learning to pedal is only the beginning!
This class is designed to help new riders get more comfortable, build confidence, and simply spend more time riding.
We work on:
* Smoother starts
* Controlled stopping and braking
* Steering
* Turning
* Looking ahead while riding
* Riding longer distances
* Bike handling and control
* Building endurance
* Riding around other cyclists and pedestrians
* Developing confidence through repetition and practice
This class is perfect for riders who say:
“I can ride, but I don’t feel confident yet.”
The goal is to help you get more comfortable, gain experience, and begin putting real riding time and miles behind you.

Why Groups of 4–5?
Small Group classes are designed for 4–5 riders at a similar skill level.
This gives students:
* Professional instruction
* Individual feedback
* Encouragement from other learners
* Opportunities to watch and learn from one another
* Practice partners
* A lower cost than private instruction
And learning alongside someone who is working through the same challenges can be incredibly encouraging!
Know someone else who wants to learn?
Invite a friend, family member, coworker, or neighbor to join the Interest List too.
The more riders who join, the sooner I can form your class.

Have Your Own Group?
Already have friends or family who want to learn together?
If you have 3–5 interested riders, contact me.
With 4 or 5 riders at a similar skill level, we may be able to schedule a Saturday or Sunday class specifically for your group.
If you have 3, invite one more friend and let’s get a class going! 🚲

Need More Individual Attention?
Some riders may benefit from beginning with a Private Learn-to-Ride Lesson.
Private instruction may be a better first step if you:
* Experience significant anxiety around riding
* Need a slower or highly individualized pace
* Have specific learning, sensory, or support needs
* Want faster progression
* Prefer one-on-one instruction
* Need more scheduling flexibility
You can always begin privately and transition into a Small Group when you’re ready.
