It’s never too early (or too late!) learn to ride a two-wheeler! Kids of all ages and grown-ups, too, can Learn to Ride a bike using the tried-and-true “balance bike” method. It’s easy, it’s fun, and it’s a skill that will last a lifetime! Join the fun, and this FREE opportunity to Learn to Ride! Learn to Ride is a not-for-profit, 100% volunteer series of events to grow Charlotte’s cycling community one new cyclist at a time. Learn to Ride is made possible in partnership with Bicycle Sport and Trips for Kids Charlotte, with support from Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation, Mecklenburg County Public Health, and well-run media + marketing.

Stoked to be asked yet again to bring the rad! We’ll be set up and rocking our traveling Bike Rodeo for all ages. Last year, we helped the program Loaves & Fishes raise over $46,000 net for their most awesome effort. So save date & we hope to see you there! 

Tour Turns is an original and unique benefit bicycle ride winding through
beautiful tree-lined South Charlotte neighborhoods offering 15, 25, 37 and 62 mile routes.

​Amazingly, all the routes are within a six square mile area of this beautiful area of Charlotte.
We also offer Closed Loop Course in the Park and Walking Routes.
