A bike ride with children is a great way to spend time in the fresh air, be together and make unforgettable discoveries. But for everything to go well, you need to plan your trip and not forget everything you may need with you.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure you and the kids are comfortable while cycling. If the child is old enough and independently drives a two-wheeled vehicle, check the reliability of the seat, spokes, and the degree of inflation of the tires. If your little one is not able to ride on their own, get a special bike seat or bike trailer for him. Be sure to read the reviews and instructions, make sure that the device is suitable for the child in terms of weight, equipped with seat belts.
Step 2
Prepare everything you may need on the road. These items include a pump, a set of keys, insect repellent, sunscreen, extra clothing, water and sandwiches. It is also worth grabbing an antiseptic, wet wipes, panthenol ointment just in case, a plaster and a bandage.
Step 3
Consider means of protection. Be sure to purchase a bicycle helmet for the child, if the child himself will ride a child's bike, ask him to put on elbow pads and knee pads. Make sure they don't interfere with movement.
Step 4
Plan your walk. Regardless of the child's age and whether he will be in the saddle of a separate vehicle or next to you, it is worth choosing a route away from cars and with asphalt surfaces. The ideal place would be a park with good paths.
Step 5
Dress the kids for the weather.
Step 6
Make small stops every 20-30 minutes, if you have small children, you can increase this interval for a student.
Step 7
Remember that cyclists are equated with road users, be careful at crossings, intersections and zebras. If your child rides his own bike and you cannot get to the park without crossing a busy road, use a car to get to the park, and then change to two-wheeled vehicles.
Step 8
Focus on the age and perseverance of your child when choosing the length of the trip. It should please both of you.
