Our Story
Play Bikes Outside!
We are a family of biking enthusiasts who want to share our love of movement, play and the outdoors with your family. My daughter, Naomi, learned to ride bikes at an early age so we could go on family biking adventures together. Through biking and other outdoor adventures, she has developed her coordination, confidence and love of the natural world.
Focus on Skills for Safety & Fun
We teach your child biking safety and skills for maximum family fun. We believe getting outside early and often creates a foundation for a healthy, active lifestyle. We are family members of the League of American Bicyclists. Emi is a League Cycling Instructor and a National Interscholastic Cycling Association Coach.
Commitment to Community
We are also committed to creating an inclusive biking community so we work with local organizations to sponsor the equivalent of 1 child per class (including class registration fees, as well as bike and helmet rental for the duration of the class).
Nondiscrimination and Inclusion Statement
KidCycle Club believes that riding bikes is for everyone and works every day to ensure we are creating a welcoming environment where differences are valued. Because of this, we prohibit discrimination of any form in our programs and particularly on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, or family status. If an individual has a complaint, they can contact Director of Programming and Operations, Jed Hinkley - jed@kidcyclclub.com.
Join the Club
Whether you use a bike for transportation, recreation or both, join the KidCycle Club today for a fun family adventure!
See you on the trail!

Business in brief: Asheville mom starts kids cycling club
Teaching children to ride a bike can be nerve-racking for parents and kids alike. And Asheville mom Emi Kubota, a longtime cyclist, realized that while a lot of classes existed to teach kids how to ski, there was nothing for cycling.
