The 3 Ps:

Practice, Patience, & Perseverance

Whether we are teaching kids to ride a bicycle for the first time or working with them to create deeper skillsets, it’s really not much different than teaching any other subject in school.

It takes an introduction, an understanding of what’s being asked, and Practice, Patience, and Perseverance – we will not give up until we achieve our goals.

After Pedaling Minds, a majority of parents report seeing an uptick in observing their kids use the 3P approach to other (non-cycling) challenges. It works!

Teach Others

Bicycle Education:

Moving Minds and Bodies

One of the keys to our success is that our coaches help riders perceive their own success. Our instruction focuses more on quality than quantity.  And the numbers show that it works:

  • Nearly all kids who participate in a PM class report having fun and learning a new skill
  • Nearly 95% of parents report seeing positive growth in their child’s confidence after a Pedaling Minds class
  • Parents report that kids are riding more and asking to ride more following Pedaling Minds classes
Pedaling Minds is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and was founded by Olympian Mike Friedman. Established in 2017, Pedaling Minds’ mission is to help every person have fun riding a bicycle with control and confidence. To-date Pedaling Minds has helped over 1,500 children, mainly from all over Boulder County. We believe knowing how to ride a bike confidently and with control is an asset in everybody’s life. From individual confidence to special family memories, riding a bicycle changes lives for the better. For parents who struggle to teach their kids or adults who never fully learned to ride, Pedaling Minds’ approach is individually customized to address unique needs by instructors who care more about the quality of the individual experience than the quantity of riders taught.

Our kiddo went into camp as a tentative rider on training wheels. On the second day of camp, she rode 7.5 miles on two wheels. I cannot say enough wonderful things! If you are able, DO IT. It will be well worth it!

Mike was great with my kiddo in her solo lesson. She had lots of anxiety about riding, but he helped her with skills and her confidence shot up! I was amazed with the progress they made in one hour! She’s now looking forward to doing camp with him and firming up her biking skills.
