About the event

Glider to Rider Open House
Glider to Rider Open House - FREE Event

Friday, March 6, 2026 | 5:30–7:00 PM
📍 Marbletown Fire Hall
(across the parking lot from Upstate BMX Track)

✨Is your little one ready to glide… and ride?

✨Is your child ready to start on a balance bike and become a Glider?
Or does your current Glider just need a little more practice and confidence before becoming a Rider (with pedals)?

✨Our 3-Week Glider to Rider Program is designed for ages 1 (walking) through 5 years old and helps young riders confidently transition from balance bikes to pedal bikes — often eliminating the need for training wheels!

What We Focus On:

✔️ Mastering balance
✔️ Steering control
✔️ Safe stopping
✔️ Confidence building

🚲Pedaling is introduced only after strong fundamentals are solid — helping kids master balance first and build skills the right way: safely, confidently, and with FUN at the center of it all.
