Biking

Return to Home Page

=== Biking is not only a way to keep children entertained but it is also an excellent form of physical activity. The older children can go off on their own or with friends. Younger children can ride their bikes while the parents walk or it can be a family affair. ===

Please remember safety when biking.

Even parents need to wear helmets. It provides a positive influence for children.

My family biking story:
My husband loves to ride a bike. In the spring of 2009, he purchased himself a bike and then convinced me to do the same. My concern about biking was what to do with my 1 year old son. We eventually found a trailer for a reasonable price. Then it was "what to do with my daughter?" as she did not have a bike that was worthy enough for a trek around Wascana Lake. We ended up buying a co-pilot bike for really cheap at Toys R' Us that connects to the back of my husband's bike. It is almost like turning a bike into a tandem. After we had everything we needed, we were set and it was one of the best purchases we made for the family. We spent almost every weekend biking through the park, packing a lunch for a mini picnic along the way and resting at the parks for the kids to play. It was awesome and I cannot wait to do it again!!
