Bicycle Safety Instruction


I teach cycling skills to people of all ages, including:

  • learning how to ride a bike
  • basic and advanced handling skills
  • safe and effective cycling with traffic, alone or in a group
  • riding any kind of bike — regular bikes, bike share bikes, e-bikes, and cargo bikes
  • basic bicycle maintenance, including roadside repairs

I teach:

  • private lessons
  • group classes
  • youth skill intensives (bike rodeos)
  • in public school systems, as part of the Safe Routes to Schools program

I’m a League Certified Instructor with the League of American Bicyclists, a road riding instructor with the Bicycle Riding School, and a youth skills instructor with the Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition. Bicycling has been my primary mode of transportation in metro Boston for over 25 years! I’m thrilled to share what I’ve learned through practical experience and professional teacher training.

I and my family have been featured in the Boston Globe!

“I’m a highly anxious parent who is not a bicyclist. When my kids asked to ride bikes to school, I needed them to learn to navigate safely through the chaotic traffic in Cambridge. I am SO grateful we met Aaron! His experience and focus on safety and skill-building was exactly what we needed. He is patient and kind, provided all kinds of extra information, answered my questions and always went above and beyond for us providing resources and recommendations when asked. Anyone looking for bicycle skills, especially if learning to ride on busy city streets needs to take lessons with Aaron! I can’t thank him enough!”

“We are glad to have connected with Aaron as a Cycling Instructor for our 14 and 10 years-old kids. Aaron taught them about cycling and all the aspects about safety, maintenance, riding in different weathers, roadside repairs, selecting appropriate bicycles and features, among many other cycling aspects. Aaron possesses all the qualities you would wish in a great Instructor, very knowledgeable, professional, motivational, passionate for this field and great with kids. Our kids have been fortunate to have opportunities to learn from Aaron, one of best instructors in this field”.
