As the kids summer holidays draw to a close, make the most
of their last few days of freedom and take the family on a cycling day out. It
is not often that we have such glorious sunny weather so go outdoors and get
active! Here are some top tips to make sure that your family day out
is great…
Safety first
We all know how clumsy our little ones can be at times, so
don’t let them come to any harm by investing in protective cycling clothing for
both them and you.
Everyone should wear a helmet as they will protect your head
if you should fall off your bike. Bike Radar have provided a great helmet buying guide that will help you choose the right helmet for you and make
sure that it fits properly.
If you are planning to ride in the evening, high visibility clothes
with reflective panels is a must- have to make sure your family remain safe and
seen.
You may want to purchase knee and elbow pads, as well as
biking gloves, to avoid cuts and grazes from spoiling your family day out. A great range of all of these bike accessories can be
found at Koo Bikes.
Pack a picnic
A day spent cycling is certainly tiresome work, so take a
break and refuel your family with a spot of lunch. If you are looking for
family fun on a budget, packing a picnic is the best option, and is great for
fussy eaters. A sugary treat will give everyone the energy they need to keep
cycling too.
There are many beauty spots in Hertfordshire that would be
perfect for a picnic, one of which is the River Lee Park Farms.
Route
It is best to pick a route that is a suitable length and difficulty
for all the family. By making the trip overly challenging, it will become more
of a task and all enjoyment will be lost.
Choose a picturesque route and enjoy taking in the sights as
you ride. A route where you can see local wildlife and animals will keep little
minds entertained.
A number of websites offer cycling route planners which are worth a
visit before heading out.
By following these handy tips, you are sure to have a family
day out to remember.
