Hi, I’m Ethan Arviv, and I started Bike Buddies because being active has always been important to me — and I wanted other kids to enjoy that too.

Some of my best childhood memories are bike rides with my dad. We’d ride for hours, and those moments gave me confidence, freedom, and a real love for being active. I also spent a lot of time scootering with my brother — we’d race, fall, laugh, and just keep going. It was never about being the best — it was about having fun and getting outside.

That’s what Bike Buddies is all about.I started it to give more kids the chance to build these skills in a fun, low-pressure way. Whether it’s learning to ride a bike, scootering, or just feeling more confident, these early experiences can stick with kids for life — just like they did for me.

In the end, it’s about helping kids feel good, have fun, and enjoy being active.
