Currently only offered in Northwest Arkansas, Bike Club is our core seasonal program where kids ride, grow, and have a blast on two wheels.
Designed for ages 3–12, Bike Club offers a progression-based path for all rider levels—from first pedals in Pre-K Bike Club to advanced trail skills in our Air Force group. Over 6–10 weeks, riders meet twice a week in small groups, building confidence, technique, and friendships. We begin a new multi-week session of bike club each season—depending on the time of year, you can join the current season or sign up early for the next one. Whether on pavement or dirt, Bike Club is where skill, joy, and community come together.

At Bike Club, we use our unique ability rating system to place kids in the right group based on how they ride—not just their age.
Whether they’re in Pre-K Bike Club (ages 3–5), our core Bike Club groups (ages 5–12), or Air Force for advanced riders (ages 7–12), all participants start with a Ride Sort to match them with peers of similar ability. As skills grow, so do groupings—classes are dynamic, allowing kids to move up when they’re ready (like when a rider learns to pedal mid-season).
Over each 6–10 week session, kids build skills and friendships in a fun, flexible, and supportive environment.
Weekday Bike Club is our core seasonal program for riders ages 3–12, meeting Tuesday/Thursday afternoons in small, ability-based groups. Sessions typically run for 6–10 weeks and focus on confidence, progression, and fun.
Bike Club (5-12yo) offers twice-weekly progression-based classes for a diverse range of kids within our Pedal Champs and MTB Kids Program Groups– Whether your child is just learning to pedal or ready to tackle light trails, these programs support their growth with dynamic grouping and peer-based learning. As riders develop new skills, they may shift into new groups throughout the season.
Pre-K Bike Club (3-5yo) is designed for our youngest riders, ages 3–5. These once-a-week sessions (Tuesdays only) introduce biking through playful learning and foundational balance and pedal skills. Once kids learn to pedal, the curriculum they
Air Force, our advanced riding group, also takes place during weekday hours with slightly later start times.

Air Force is our most advanced riding group for confident riders ages 7–12 who are ready to push their skills to the next level. While it is it’s own Program Group, Air Force runs in parallel with Bike Club and meets twice weekly—typically on Tuesdays and Thursdays—for extended two-hour sessions with slightly later start times.
We typically split Air Force into just a couple smaller sub-groups based on ability, allowing coaches to tailor sessions more specifically to each rider’s progression. Curriculum focuses on advanced mountain bike fundamentals: drops, jumps, cornering, ramps, line selection, technical climbs, and descents. Riders often travel to different trail systems across NWA, gaining exposure to a variety of terrain while riding with peers who share their level of focus and stoke.
If your child is ready to shred and wants a deeper MTB experience, Air Force is the place to be.
