BikeDFW Bicycle Education Courses
  • Kids Bike Rodeos - Bike Rodeos are a fun way to teach basic bicycle safety to kids. These events provide an opportunity for kids to practice and develop skills to become better bicyclists and avoid typical accidents. Bike Rodeos actively engage kids in learning, practicing, and demonstrating their bicycle handling skills in a fun, noncompetitive atmosphere. BikeDFW has the equipment and expertise to put on a bike rodeo most anywhere in North Texas. Please contact us for more information ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Why Take a Bicycle Course?

As roadways and bike trails become increasingly complex and congested, do you know all you need to know to safely ride a bicycle? Do you know enough to teach your children how to ride cautiously and conspicuously while on their own? When you drive your car, are you confident on how to share the road with bicyclists? The Smart Cycling program gives you the tips, tools, and techniques to confidently answer YES to each of those questions.

On our roadways, bikes are treated as vehicles. Simply knowing how to ride a bike is not the same as knowing how to operate a bike safely and legally.

The Smart Cycling program from the League of American Cyclists is a set of curricula for adults and children taught by certified instructors.
