B&C Coaching Company — Bicycle Coach (Independent Contractor)
Help people discover freedom, confidence, and joy through cycling.
At B&C Coaching Company, our mission is simple but powerful: make cycling accessible to everyone. We believe riding a bike can change a person’s life—opening doors to independence, mobility, health, and community. For more than a decade, we’ve refined a proven learn‑to‑ride method that empowers new riders of all ages to succeed, often in a single session.
As we expand our coaching network, we’re looking for passionate, community‑minded instructors who want to share that joy and help more people experience the freedom of riding.
