Pedalheads has been boosting kids’ confidence on their bikes since 1995, offering enriching bike and trail riding summer camps throughout Illinois. The program helps young riders progress from training wheels to fearless independence through fun, educational bike camps and lessons.
Bike camps for kids ages 2-12 provide comprehensive instruction that takes children from their first experience on training wheels to riding safely and confidently on the road. The curriculum emphasizes proper technique, safety skills, and road awareness, building both physical skills and confidence in young riders.
Trail riding camps for kids ages 4-10 offer adventurous experiences where children get at least 2 hours of continuous riding time with attentive instructors. These camps help kids master biking skills in natural settings while exploring local trail systems and developing their love for outdoor adventure.
Pedalheads operates multiple locations across the Chicago area and northern Illinois suburbs, including Arlington Heights, Clarendon Hills, Evanston, Elmhurst, Forest Park, Highland Park, Lombard, Naperville, Park Ridge, River Forest, Schaumburg, and Wilmette, making quality bike instruction accessible to families throughout the region.
The program was founded by Claudia Sjoberg, who started with a simple swim program in 1986 and has since grown into an innovative organization helping kids gain confidence, make friends, and develop a passion for being active that will last a lifetime. Summer sessions provide the perfect opportunity for kids to soak up the sun, get active, and improve their well-being while learning valuable biking skills.
