We had a blast at our first ever Player’s Workshop! The theme of this workshop was wheelies, and I’m happy to say all riders left with a better understanding and higher level of comfort for learning wheelies.

I haven't been very active on here so I wanted to take a minute to reintroduce myself to everyone.

Hi 👋 My name is Bobby Parker and I really love bicycles. I began riding at an early age with my friends, tearing around our neighborhood and riding home made ramps on our BMX bikes. This passion for bicycles only increased through the years and once I was old enough to get a job, it was straight to the local family owned bike shop where I started washing used bikes, sometimes giving them sweet pin stripes with electrical tape (true story) and using the home made lubricants that were finely crafted by the owner of the shop, known simply as "G-Oil" and "P-Oil" 🤣🤣

Fast forward 30 years later and here I am, a mountain bike skills instructor and coach with my own business. I'd like to think if I had a chance to go back and shake hands with 14 year old me, out behind the shop washing used bikes and lubricating them with some P-Oil, that this is where I would be in 30 years... 14 year old me would have stood there in excited disbelief.

Now, here I am. A certified and fully insured bicycle skills instructor and coach. I am PMBIA Level 1 certified skills instructor, USA Cycling Level 3 Coach, Wilderness First Aid Certified, SafeSport Certified. I am currently undergoing the process of getting my Level 2 certification with USA Cycling as well as working towards my PMBIA Level 2 Air certification. I am a proud NICA Coach as well as the Ast. Coach for the Thaden School Enduro Program. I am also the Coach Skills Training Instructor at Thaden School.

Message me today to see how I can help you achieve your goal of becoming a Better Biker.
