What's it all about? Bring those aspiring riders (of any age, we've started them at 2 1/2 and we even do adults & seniors) who seem to need, or are currently using, training wheels, even adult non-riders who just want to learn to ride a bicycle. Take them home a few hours later as a new bicycle rider! Training wheels come off in one day here at the Museum's Become-a-Bike-Rider Clinic. We teach in a "Suzuki" style training method, and training wheels will be history, generally in one session.

Bicycle safety will also be presented, discussed and demonstrated, and appropriate safety information will be given to all participants along with certificates of their riding acomplishment.

Please bring:

An appropriately-sized Bicycle: note - A rider sitting on his/her bicycle seat must be able to touch the ground with his/her toes. We will assist in properly fitting a rider to his/her bicycle before training.

A Crescent Wrench (if handy)

A proper sized Bicycle Helmet:    A Must ! !

  • We'll check it for proper fitting.

Important:

For best results, please plan to spend two to three hours.

To save time at the museum, it's best to remove the training wheels before coming. We will assist at the museum if necessary.

Please Note: Although in many years of offering this program we have never had the need of anything more than a few band-aids, our insurance now requires that Parents or Legal guardians must sign a waiver of injury responsibility for children at sign in.

A courtesy call to pre-register is appreciated but not always essential: 716-662-3853 or email us. 

Hot Dogs ($1.00 each) will be available at our

"Cook Your Own - the way YOU like it !" Grill.
