Coming 2027 · In private beta

The Pedaling Minds method,
on demand.

For 12 years we've run the same curriculum in the same Boulder parking lot. In 2027 we're putting it on a screen — so a parent in Portland, Pittsburgh, or Pisa can teach their kid the same way.

What's in it

Same playbook.
Just yours, this time.

The platform isn't a video library. It's the actual Pedaling Minds curriculum, rebuilt for an at-home parent + child team. Six levels, dozens of drills, milestone check-ins, all coach-led.

01

Coach-led drills.

Every drill is a short video — Coach Mike, on a bike, in real conditions. Demos at full speed, then in slow motion, then a parent's-eye view of how to set it up at home.

02

Six levels, mapped.

Same six levels we use in Boulder. Each one earned, not skipped. Your kid can't "level up" until the drill is real. We won't pretend a click is a skill.

03

Parent coaching.

Every drill comes with a coach-to-parent brief: what to look for, what to praise, what to ignore, when to stop. The hardest part of teaching a kid is the parent. We've got you.

04

Milestone check-ins.

End of each level, send a 60-second video to a real Pedaling Minds coach. We watch it. We tell you what's next. We're not a bot.

05

Adult mode.

Same curriculum, retuned for adult learners. Slower pace, more rationale, post-crash recovery track. We've already used it with three of our adult students.

06

Built by the coaches.

This isn't a third-party product slapped on the brand. Every drill, every script, every milestone is written by the same Pedaling Minds coaches who run camp on Monday morning.

Why we're building it

A note from Coach Mike.

"In 12 years, the question I get most isn't about the camp. It's from parents who don't live in Boulder, asking how to teach their own kid. So I wrote it down. Then I filmed it. Then I built this. The kids deserve to ride no matter what city they're in."

Platform FAQ

A few you've been asking.

When does it launch?
+
Public launch is planned for 2027. We're currently in private beta with our existing Boulder families. Waitlist members get first access at a beta price.
What will it cost?
+
We're aiming for an annual subscription in the range of a single in-person camp week, with scholarship spots reserved on the platform too. Final pricing announced before launch.
Does it replace coming to Boulder?
+
No. It's for parents who don't live near a Pedaling Minds physical program. If you're in Boulder, do camp. The platform is for everyone else.
Do I need to be a strong rider myself?
+
No. The platform is built for the parent who can't ride either, or who hasn't ridden in 20 years. We coach the parent through it as much as the kid.
Will adult learners get their own version?
+
Yes. Adult Mode is a separate track of the same curriculum, paced for grown-up learners. Same six levels. Same coaches.
