Sorry I didn’t put this up sooner. But it’s a really cool event and a great way to teach your kid to ride a bike!

WHAT: Ready to toss the training wheels? Take your kids to a free Bike New York class to learn the basics of biking in a safe, social setting. Best of all there’s no running behind the bike, strained backs, scraped knees, or frayed nerves. So far this year, more than 700 kids and their parents learned this method, and the program received the 2007 Best of Parks Best Partnership Award.
WHO: Children with their parents; recommended for ages 5 and up. Bikes and helmets required. Pre-register at http://www.bikenewyork.org/education/classes/teach_child.html.
WHEN/WHERE:
Sunday, July 13, 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m., Clinton Ave. between Myrtle Ave. and Willoughby Ave., Fort Greene, Brooklyn, as part of BAM’s AfroPunk Block Party. Closest subway: G train to Clinton/Washington Aves.
