Start by creating an account in your child’s name, then scroll down to select the 12-month Youth Membership (it’s free).

If you have more than one child, you can create the account under your own name and add your kids to your profile. That way, you’ll be able to book Learn to Ride or Track classes for each of them easily.

Once the membership is active, you’ll be able to book classes. Just scroll down to the schedule section and select the class you’d like your child to join. Learn to Ride classes are available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

The $10 deposit secures your child’s spot in the class you selected. If your child doesn’t attend, the deposit will be forfeited. Cancellations must be made 24 hours ahead of time to receive a refund.

For Detroit residents, after the class you can ask for your deposit back or it automatically get put back into the program. 

The first step is to register your child for a Track 101 class — a one-hour introductory session led by a cycling coach. In this class, they’ll get familiar with the track bikes and the track itself, and may even get the chance to ride on the banked turns.

After completing Track 101, they’ll move on to Track 201, a more advanced session that builds on what they’ve learned. Once they’ve completed Track 201 and receive coach approval, they’ll be eligible to start training in our Monday Night Junior & Beginner Training sessions.

All track classes are completely free for all kids 17 and under.
