Our Story
Bikes 001 was born from a passion for helping people of all ages and abilities experience the joy, freedom, and confidence of riding on two wheels. Whether it’s a child pedaling for the first time, a neurodivergent individual mastering a new skill, or a motorcyclist navigating their first freeway ride, we’re here to provide personalized, patient instruction tailored to each rider’s unique journey.
Many traditional cycling classes assume prior knowledge or focus on large group settings, often leaving behind those who thrive with one-on-one attention. Bikes 001 fills that gap by offering individualized lessons year-round, creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every rider can progress at their own pace.
Starting in parking lots and city parks across Portland, Oregon, Bikes 001 aspires to grow into a program that serves communities statewide. Our vision is to empower riders throughout Oregon, especially children and adults in the neurodivergent community. We believe every “first” is a milestone worth celebrating, and we’re committed to making those moments safe, fun, and memorable. At Bikes 001, we’re not just teaching skills—we’re inspiring confidence and freedom, one ride at a time.
Our Vision
We envision a world where everyone, regardless of age or ability, experiences the freedom and independence that cycling can provide.
Our goal is to become a trusted resource for first-time riders, children with disabilities, and anyone seeking to master the fundamentals of two-wheel riding, while fostering a lifelong love of exploration and self-confidence.
By bridging the gap in training, we aim to make riding a safe and transformative experience for all.
