We are a Big Bicycle Family, we have 4 kids from 8 years old to a 18-month old, and have gone on many adventures including a 100-mile Bike Packing Trip ( • BikePacking with Kids ... ).
Throughout the years we’ve learned a great deal about how to ride bikes with your kids, and are sharing all we know in this video.
We talk about all the various ways you can bring your kids on the bike with you, from Front Child Mounts, Rear Rack Seats, Ride-a-long Trailabikes, Bike Trailers, and even explore the best way to get your kids biking themselves using Baby Balance Bikes, Toddler Pedal Bicycle and getting them ready for epic rides using the FollowMe-Tandem.
