A Special Message for New Riders

Learning to ride a bike is an exciting adventure, but we know it can also feel a little bit nerve-wracking, especially if it’s your first time. At Girls in Gear, we believe that every girl has the strength and courage to take on new challenges, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

Share this letter with your future GiG Gal to show them that being brave isn't about not feeling scared - it’s about doing things that challenge us, even when we feel a little nervous.

We are so excited to welcome you to Girls in Gear! We know you might be feeling a little nervous about learning to ride your bike, and that’s completely okay! Sometimes trying something new can make us feel a bit anxious, but remember - being brave is about doing those things even when we're feeling unsure. And that's how we grow!

At Girls in Gear, you'll be surrounded by lots of other girls who are also learning how to ride their bikes for the first time. You’ll have coaches with you every step of the way, offering support and encouragement. The best part is that you get to take it one small step at a time. You can go as fast or as slow as feels right for you - there’s no rush. We just want you to feel safe, comfortable, and proud of every step you take.

It’s completely normal to feel nervous when you arrive, especially when you’re about to learn something new. It’s a big deal, and we’re here to make sure you feel strong and ready.

And guess what? If you don’t leave Girls in Gear riding your bike just yet, that’s okay too. What matters is that you’re being brave, and you’re learning something new. You are already strong and amazing, no matter where you are on your bike journey. One day, you’ll be riding like a pro.

We’ll also share some tips with your family so you can keep practicing at home. Keep going, keep trying, and most importantly, keep believing in yourself. We’re cheering you on every step of the way.

Can’t wait to see you at Girls in Gear!
