Our Why
At CrankCourage, we believe riding a bike is more than just a childhood milestone, it’s a rite of passage. Every ride opens the door to new adventures, healthy habits, and family connections.
We grew up riding through our neighborhoods and teaching our own children the joy of cycling. But we also know learning to ride can bring tears, scrapes, and setbacks. A tough first experience can create fear and hesitation that lingers. Our mission is to change that story by helping kids build courage, confidence, and safe riding habits from the very start, so communities thrive and children discover a lifelong love of riding.
Our Approach
Every child learns differently. Some pick it up quickly, while others need time, support, and patience. At CrankCourage, we meet each rider where they are.
Through gentle guidance, step-by-step instruction, and encouragement at every stage, we help kids feel supported, not pressured. Safety is always at the heart of what we do, while patience, positivity, and fun create an environment where riders and parents can enjoy the process.
Our Belief in the Outcome
Our goal goes far beyond teaching kids how to pedal. We want every rider to walk away with confidence, independence, and respect. Respect for themselves, their bikes, and those they share the path with.
For parents, that means more than a skill checked off a list. It’s the pride of watching a child discover freedom, the joy of sharing new adventures together, and the security of knowing they’ve learned to ride safely and responsibly.
Our Approach
CrankCourage stands for more than skills on two wheels. We stand for:
- Empowerment & Self-Responsibility – building courage and confidence to face challenges.
- Resilience – learning that falls happen, but getting back up matters most.
- Safety & Respect – treating every ride, every rider, and every community with care.
- Family & Fun – creating memories, laughter, and milestones that last a lifetime.
At CrankCourage, we don’t just teach kids how to ride, we give families the gift of confidence, connection, and courage on every ride.
