WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2018, Balanced Kids was created with one mission: to make learning to ride a bike a fun, confidence-building experience for every child. We believe riding isn’t just a skill, it’s a milestone that helps kids feel braver, stronger, and more independent.
Our classes are built around the idea that every child learns differently. We meet riders exactly where they are, tailoring each lesson to their pace, personality, and comfort level. When learning feels fun, kids progress faster and enjoy the journey along the way.
As our riders grew in confidence and ability, families began asking for more ways to keep their kids moving, exploring, and challenged on bikes. That inspiration led us to expand beyond Learn to Ride into Adventure Camps, birthday parties, and pop up events, giving kids new opportunities to build skills, try something new, and experience the joy of riding in fresh and exciting ways.
At the heart of everything we do is our incredible team. Our instructors are patient, playful, and exceptionally well trained, creating a supportive environment where kids feel safe to try, fall, laugh, and try again. We focus on encouragement over pressure and progress over perfection, so every rider leaves feeling proud, confident, and excited to get back on their bike.
A Note From Our Founder,
Anna Virgo
Balanced Kids Atlanta began after my own children learned to ride by mastering balance first. Seeing how quickly and joyfully they took off, I knew this method could help other families too. As a proud Atlanta native with over 20 years of coaching experience, a background in teaching, and two decades of mountain biking under my belt, sharing this approach became a natural next step.
In addition to teaching kids how to ride a bike, I also coach for our local mountain biking team and my two kids continue to be my biggest inspiration. I’m proud to serve as a board member of Bike Alpharetta, the organization that helped Alpharetta earn Bicycle Friendly Community recognition through the League of American Bicyclists.
At Balanced Kids Atlanta, our guiding philosophy is simple: keep it fun, meet every child with patience, and celebrate every victory—big or small.
Let’s get rolling-your rider’s next big achievement starts here!
