Madison Park

??‹Mecklenburg County, Bicycle Sport and Trips for Kids Charlotte want to make sure that everyone learns to ride a bicycle. That’s why they’re partnering for a “Learn to Ride” event this Saturday, Nov. 7 at Marion Diehl Recreation Center, 2219 Tyvola Road. Lessons will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The program will not occur in the event of rain.

Interested participants are asked to bring their bikes and helmets. Trips for Kids Charlotte will also bring extra bikes to use for those who don’t own one.

Staff and volunteers will help guide attendees through helmet and bike fitting. We recommend that parents get involved so that they leave with the knowledge of how their child can continue to work on this skill at home.

Additional “Learn to Ride" events are planned at various Park and Recreation locations throughout the County starting in 2016.
