"We had an amazing experience with Pete! He truly loves what he does. He was truly so happy to see my son start riding. The two of them for along great. We were having such a hard time teaching my son to ride his bike. Pete had him riding in 15 minutes! My son went from avoiding his bike all summer to asking us to practice riding everyday after school. I..." Read more

"I can't say enough about how awesome Pete was. He had our son up and on a bike in about 15 minutes. Everything about the lesson was awesome and our son didn't stop smiling for a week"

"I am soooo happy to have found the Bike Education Institute for Pirates!!! What a wonderful idea to help folks of every age and ability to learn to ride. One of the best parts of this experience was shortly into the lesson, Peter looked at me and quietly said "He's just about to ride on his own. Get your camera ready!" Within minutes, he let go of the bike..." Read more

"I can't recommend Pete highly enough as a biking lesson instructor! He was incredibly patient, kind, and had a wonderful sense of humor that kept my child at ease throughout the entire session. Pete's encouraging and positive approach made all the difference - my child felt motivated and confident and was riding his bike independently by the end of the first..." Read more

"Aces. If you are unsure or unable to teach your kid how to ride a bike….Don’t Hesitate! It’s the Best money I’ve Ever Spent! My 8.5 year old, Tall and fearful, grandson wanted to learn to ride but we did not have the knowledge or resources to teach him. Exactly 22 minutes into his First lesson he was biking independently. His pride & joy was Palpable…so..." Read more

"Pete is an awesome bike instructor and thanks to Pete my son loves to ride his bike. Like most children in today’s world, my 8 year old son would rather play on his Ipad than play outside. For the past 2 years my wife and I have tried to teach our son how to ride a bike but he had no interest in learning. All of this changed once our son had his 1st bike..." Read more

"I would highly recommend Pete to any parent (or any adult student) looking to get a jumpstart on their kid’s bike riding journey. My 7 year old took a first class - and did a whole bunch of usual - lot of falling, looking down when biking and difficulty to get both feet on the pedal. However for the second class, within minutes my son started to balance and..." Read more

"Beginners course for kids, I can not express what a great experience my son and I had! Within minutes my normally shy 6 yr old was comfortable, engaging, and having fun. I was really easy for me to let my guard down and put trust in Peter, and that came as a much appreciated surprise. He is amazing with communicating as well as reading body language. What ha..."

"I am in awe of Pirate Pete. We had been trying to teach our daughter to ride for a long time, but she was easily frustrated and eventually avoidant of our lessons. She was reluctant to go to our first lesson with Pete, but when she had a taste of success, we saw a huge change in her attitude! She left the first lesson determined to practice early the next mo..." Read more

"Pete and his girls were really great to work with. I struggled to get my 6 year old off of training wheels, and after 3 sessions with Pete she was super confident and now loves to ride. The smile on her face once she got it was priceless. I now have my 4 year old enrolled and she's already riding around like a speed demon - now just working on breaking... ;-..." Read more

"100% Recommend My 8.5 year old Tall grandson had not yet learned to ride a bike. He told me weeks ago that his goal for the summer was to learn to ride. He’s a naturally cautious child and his height made him understandably fearful. I decided to “google”bike lessons for kids. I saw this school. I knew nothing about them. I decided to “take a chance..." Read more

"These lessons helped my family out so much. It was very helpful. If it wasn’t for you. I don’t know how I could have showed them how to ride a bike. He was really nice and very supportive enough to my three kids to the point where they had learned in one lesson. Thanks again!!"

"Pete is amazing!!! He took my 10 year old grandson, Patrick, from a kid who just couldn't master riding his bike (no matter how hard we tried to teach him) to a kid who not only can ride his bike, but thoroughly enjoys it!!! He was riding a bike within the first 30 minutes of the lesson. His confidence is soaring and there aren't enough hours in the day f..." Read more

"Pete is the absolute best bike riding teacher!! He was so patient, kind, understanding, and intuitive to my child’s special learning needs. My son has faced many challenges learning to ride a bike for the past few years. Within less than 10 minutes of Pete’s instruction, my son was pedaling independently. Within 20 more minutes he was riding around the pa..." Read more

"Pete was absolutely amazing with my 10 year old son! After attending multiple other "bike schools" and private lessons, I had about given up hope that my son would ever ride a bike. Pete had a great method and built up a good relationship and confidence in my son so quickly. He was riding unassisted within an hour and I was in total disbelief. I can't say en..." Read more

"Pete taught me to bike commute in the heart of Boston. Going from Brighton to Post Office square, he helped me build the confidence to bike 12 heavily trafficked miles every day for years, snow or shine. If it hadn't been for Pete, I would've had to take the train every day, wasting precious time and compromising my health in the process."

"Our son was scared of the bike and avoiding it. We had no idea how to teach him properly and in a way that felt supportive. During our first class, Pete had him riding in the first 20 minutes, and the pride on our son's face was priceless! He's since done two lessons and can ride with the best of the neighborhood kids."
