Bike Lessons and Bike Mechanic Lessons for Kids and Adults

Have you been wanting to feel more confident riding your bike—or learn how to take care of it yourself?

Welcome to Otter Bike Works.

I offer one-on-one and small group bike riding skill instruction for beginner to intermediate riders on mountain bike trails, and gravel roads in a supportive, personalized setting.

I also teach hands-on bike mechanic skills so you can take care of your bike, fix common issues, and feel more self-sufficient every time you ride.

About

Hello, my name is Elisa Otter. I grew up in central Vermont, surrounded by mountains, trails, and a strong love for being active outside. I jumped into my first mountain bike race in college—and never looked back.

Since then, biking has shaped how I approach challenges, build confidence, and have fun! Through Otter Bike Works, I help riders of all ages and abilities feel more comfortable, capable, and excited on and around their bikes.
