Going cycling is a wonderful activity for families, even those with young children. Children and their parents benefit from the sunshine, fresh air and activity of cycling, and young children who see their parents cycling are more likely to learn to cycle themselves when they are old enough to balance and pedal on their own.

Safety is the number one concern when it comes to transporting children, and cycling is no exception. Bicycle safety includes helmets for every member of the family, keeping equipment well-maintained, being aware of traffic levels on a particular route and choosing the right bike seat, trailer or bike for the age and abilities of each child.

There are a range of bike seats, trailers and trailing bikes available for families with young children. The most popular include rear or front mounted child seats, child bicycle trailers and a trailer attachment that connects a child’s bike to an adult bike.
