Kids will need a bike and helmet to participate in Grip Academy. Please note, training wheels are not permitted and should be removed before coming to class. If you do not have a bike and require assistance in obtaining one, please email us at community@clippedinforlife.org.
In addition to a bike and helmet, please come prepared with the following:
Demo bikes available: Kids ages 6 & under in White and Yellow Grips have the option to use our demo fleet of Strider balance bikes and helmets. The Strider bikes we use are specially designed to teach kids the basics of two wheeled operation using their legs for propulsion and when they’re ready, quickly convert to a pedal bike with coaster brake.
Our demo Strider bikes will fit kids within the following measurements:
Inseam Length: 16 – 23 in.
Rider Height: Approx. 37 – 49 in.
Seat Height: 15 – 22 in.
Maximum Rider Weight: 80 lbs
No refunds will be offered for any reason (see full Clipped In for Life Refund Policy). Grip Academy membership fees cannot be rolled over to a future Grip Academy session, or transferred to another participant. We are not able to transfer Grip Academy registration funds to other Clipped In for Life events or programs.
Students must RSVP for the class(es) they plan on attending each week. If your child cannot attend a class, reservations may be changed up to five hours in advance of class. If your child misses a class without changing your reservation at least five hours in advance, you lose that class credit.
Grip Academy memberships are a monthly commitment billed automatically on your date of signup, April 1, and May 1, 2025. Membership cancellation must be requested two weeks before your next billing date. Once your membership has been charged, no refunds will be issued for any reason as outlined in our general Clipped In for Life refund policy.
To request a membership cancellation, please email us at community@clippedinforlife.org.
If we are forced to cancel a class due to unsafe weather (i.e. rain, wind, smoke, heat), students will be given the option to book a makeup class based on our schedule offerings. Refunds will not be offered for cancelled classes.
