Learn. Ride. Fix. Repeat.

WRWC Bicycle Education

We make biking accessible and fun for kids and families along the Woonasquatucket River Greenway and beyond! Whether you’re a first-time rider or a seasoned cyclist, we’re here to help you build confidence, learn new skills, and enjoy nature close to home.

Interested in bringing our programs to your school, business, or community group? Contact us to make it happen!

Find us at Riverside Park in Olneyville, right next to the Woonasquatucket River Greenway. Give us a wave when you ride by!

About the WRWC Red Shed

Established in 2009, the WRWC Red Shed started as a way to get people on bikes – and keep bikes out of the Woonasquatucket River! Made from two bright red shipping containers at Riverside Park, the Red Shed provides bike repair workshops, bike education and programming.

Summer Bike Camp (Ages 8-13)

A week of adventure on two wheels! Campers explore the watershed, enjoy daily bike rides, and learn:

✔️ Rules of the Road

✔️ Helmet fitting and safety

✔️ Right of way & navigating intersections

✔️ Bicycle safety checks

By the end of camp, riders leave with confidence, independence, and a new way to enjoy nature! Scholarships are available to ensure access for all.

Girls Bike Camp (Ages 8-13)

Taking place over April school break, Girls Bike Camp empowers young girls to ride with confidence. Too often, girls are told biking isn’t for them – we’re here to say, “Yes, you can!” Girls Bike Camp is a special program designed to help young girls gain confidence in biking. Over spring break, participants will learn bike mechanics, safe cycling, and environmental stewardship while enjoying group rides along the Woonasquatucket River. This camp is focused on serving girls with little or no biking experience, encouraging them to become strong and capable riders.

For more information about WRWC Girls Bike Camp, visit or contact redshed@wrwc.org or call (401)-484-7351.
